Wilmington’s Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy

byDavid Zucchino

David Zucchino uses Wilmington’s Lie to investigate the Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy through a carefully framed historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of history and social science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Together, these elements make Wilmington’s Lie an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
