Blood Feud: The Hatfields and the McCoys - the Epic Story of Murder and Vengeance by Lisa Alther

From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: "Well researched and finely written...Alther goes beyond the bloody facts, showing how utterly American the feud was, and how it reverberates yet today...But the best part is tracking the bloodstained characters through their astounding, outrageous lives. Lots of photographs spice things up even more.""
