There are scenes in this book set in the Oval Office, which wasn't
built until 1909. The fire in Ford's theater was in 1862, not 1863.
Lee and Grant, contrary to the book, DID meet after Appomattox. And,
worse, why is the book devoid of a bibliography or ANY cited sources?!
Oh, yes, caving relevance: O'Reilly must be living in a cave.

clean it up, and I hear that a completely revised version is coming
out because so much of the first edition was wrong.
