“As gripping as a fine work of fiction… My Thoughts be Bloody is simultaneously an important work of history – the best account I have ever read of the complex forces that led John Wilkes Booth to carry a gun into the Ford’s Theatre on April 14, 1865.” –Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals
“Why did John Wilkes Booth do it? … Titone is one of the few to have genuinely explored this question. In doing so, she has crafted a fascinating psychological drama about one of the central events of the Civil War…Bravo on a marvelous achievement.” –Jay Winik, author of April 1865
“This is narrative history at its most engaging and edifying… Titone has written a book full of surprises that will fundamentally change the way Americans think about John Wilkes Booth.” –Toby Lester, author of The Fourth Part of the World
