Book Synopsis

This work is a witty exploration of the eerie similarities between the assassinations of presidents Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy that have fascinated both casual and serious history buffs for more than half a century. From the compilation of these mysterious coincidences to the campfire story of a curse cast upon the American presidency, this account is filled with captivating anecdotes that are often hard to believe. Balancing historical research with a sprinkle of whimsy, this book is the most substantial investigation of a nearly folkloric American topic. Pulling back the curtain of history, it sheds light on what makes these coincidences so intriguing and enduring.
