Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. At 9:50 on a hot August night in 1886, Charleston was jolted from ordinary life into terror. Walls split, church towers shook, chimneys crashed through roofs, and the ground itself seemed to roar. In less than a minute, one of America's oldest cities became a maze of rubble, darkness, and screams. The strongest earthquake to strike the eastern United States had arrived without warning-and before the night was over, thousands would flee their homes and wonder if the earth would ever hold still again.The Great Charleston Earthquake follows the disaster from its first shattering seconds through the fearful nights that followed, when families camped in the open, relief committees raced to feed the homeless, and aftershocks kept an already broken city on edge. Here are the public officials forced to govern through chaos, the volunteers improvising survival under canvas, and the scientists struggling to measure an invisible enemy from thousands of witness reports. It is a story of ruin, resilience, unequal suffering, and a city fighting to remain itself.Vivid, deeply researched, and grounded in the historical record, this is narrative history at its most immediate: a true account of catastrophe told through scene, character, and consequence. Charleston's broken walls still have something to say about risk, recovery, and what we trust to stand. Once you enter this night, you will not want to leave until the last page.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Memphis, May 1866: the Civil War is over, slavery is dead, and the streets are still not at peace. A quarrel between Black Union veterans and white policemen ignites three days of terror as armed mobs sweep through Black neighborhoods, killing 46 people, burning homes, churches, and schools, and exposing how fragile freedom could be. In the ashes of victory, one question hangs over the city: who, now, has the right to live safely as an American?The Memphis Massacre tells this story at street level and at the level of power-through freed families building new lives, policemen and ex-Confederates bent on restoring old hierarchies, federal officers slow to grasp what is unfolding, and politicians in Washington forced to reckon with the meaning of emancipation. What begins as a tense encounter becomes organized racial violence; what looks like local disorder becomes a national crisis. Each chapter drives deeper into the choices, rumors, failures, and acts of courage that turned a city into a battlefield.Vivid, deeply researched, and grounded in the surviving testimony of those who endured it, this is narrative history with the pace of a thriller and the weight of a reckoning. The Memphis Massacre reveals how one American city became a warning to the nation-and why its lessons still burn. This item is printed on demand.
