Out this fall: America’s Deadliest Election: The Cautionary Tale of the Most Violent Election in American History by Dana Bash and David Fisher.
A book about the little-known 1872 Louisiana gubernatorial election which “led to hundreds of murders, warfare in the streets of New Orleans, dueling governors of Louisiana.”
It also offers a warning: “Readers will find eerie parallels to today’s divided political landscape and leaders willing to seize power no matter the cost.”
