During incidents of racist violence, lynchers tortured their victims before murdering them. Most killers were never brought to justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1946, the bodies of two men and two women were found near Moore's Ford Bridge in rural Monroe, Georgia. Their killers were never identified. And although the crime reverberated through the troubled community, the corrupt courts, and eventually the whole world, many details remained unexplored--until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Last Lynching\u003c\/i\u003e, Anthony S. Pitch reveals the true story behind the last mass lynching in America in unprecedented detail.

Along the way, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Lynching\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light into a dark corner of American history, which no one can afford to ignore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSkyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more.
