The text tells the story of the assassination and continues until the final burial in Springfield, the twenty days of the title. It is detailed and moving, although it raises some interesting questions at the same time. Interpolated into this, is, in brief, the story of the trial of the conspirators and the resulting execution of four of them, which took a longer period of time. This section is the weakest of the book; there is no bibliography or notes, and I missed them the most here. I had been particularly interested in the issue of their guilt or innocence, and while the Kunhardts speak vaguely of governmental tampering with the witnesses, there is no substance nor anyway to track it down.
