description: The tragedy of the race massacres in Elaine, Arkansas, is not only that they occurred, but that history has ignored them. In riveting prose, Stockley tells the full story of this incident, weighs the evidence and makes a clear and powerful case that white mobs and federal soldiers murdered black citizens of Elaine. And as he maps out the massacre, the resulting trials and the lives of the survivors, Stockley also tracks the twisting and silencing of the truth.
