Come Retribution
Archival Summary & Scope
Confederates, believing Lincoln sponsored the Union's destructive tactics, initiated "Come Retribution," a plot to seize the President and force Northern capitulation. John Wilkes Booth was their chosen agent for this audacious stratagem, though early attempts, including a White House bombing, faltered.In *Come Retribution*, career intelligence officers William A. Tidwell and David Winfred Gaddy, joined by expert James O. Hall, re-examine the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Drawing on clandestine evidence and intelligence analysis, they uncover the Confederate Secret Service's previously unexplored link to Lincoln's death, offering startling insights that redefine this pivotal moment in American history.
As Nathan Miller of *The Baltimore Sun* affirmed, "Every account of the Lincoln assassination published in the future will have to take account of the arguments presented in this book."
