GDG- Killing Lincoln

[CWMHTours at aol.com]

I don't understand this part, for one.
 
I assume I must be dense or stupid or both.
 
I fail to understand how a book with such egregious errors  describing 
events that never happened can be called a history book.  If a  book that 
describes Lincoln and Grant meeting in the Oval Office when it didn't  exist can 
be called history there is something seriously wrong  here.
 
Yes-  I don't understand this part.  I always  thought a book this is 
called history describes real events that actually  happened, not make believe.
 
And I don't understand how a publisher, unless they are trying  to sell 
something, can call a book history when it is make believe.

Yes.  You are wrong.  It is not a novel and the  publisher - and 
everyone else -  describes it as a  history.

Here is how the publisher describes it.

A riveting  historical narrative of the heart-stopping events 
surrounding the  assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work 
of history from  mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly

What part of history don't you  understand?
