	Description:		In a career defined by covering foreign wars, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Zucchino ‘73 discovered the conflict that drives his third book closer to home. In 1898, white supremacists overthrew the multiracial government of Wilmington, N.C. It remains the only coup d'état ever to take place on American soil. For decades, American history textbooks wrongly cast the black victims as instigators, and the perpetrators as heroes. It took almost a century for the true story to come to light. Zucchino tells that story in the book Wilmington’s Lie.
