Murder, Honor and Law cover

This non-fiction hardback, "Murder, Honor and Law" from Richard F Hamm, was published 30th June 2003 by University of Virginia Press.

Hamm's idea of looking at four murders across seventy years to better understand perceptions of the South in the national imagination is brilliant. The scholarship is impressive, logically organized, and well written and makes a real contribution to the historiography. - Christopher Waldrep, San Francisco State University, author of The Many Faces of Judge Lynch: Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America
