National Geographic channel has Killing Lincoln on. It claims to be based on the book

Killing Lincoln:The shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever.

Is this the same book Bill O'Reilly was a part of?

also... Tom Hanks is narrating it....

IMBD.
Looks like it was "inspired" by the O'Liey book.
Basically, Hanks andnthed producers did their own movie and ignored the book.
Murdock gets to keep the thing in-family and Billo gets more $ for nothing.
