About the Book: The Montagues and Capulets, the Jets and the Sharks, Hamilton and Burr: violent confrontations, fictional or real, and the passions that inspire them capture our attention. And there is none more violent, infamous, and long-lasting than the enduring feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys. However, despite numerous articles, books, television shows, and feature films, nobody has ever told the in-depth true story of this legendarily fierce-and far-reaching-clash in the heart of Appalachia. Nobody, until now. With THE FEUD (Little, Brown and Company; 5/21; ISBN 978-0-316-16706-2; $28.00), Dean King has written the definitive tome on the notorious fighting families. Using court records, family documents, personal explorations of the Hatfield-McCoy geography as well as interviews with modern-day family members, photos, new medical data, and even forensic evidence, THE FEUD is the first modern narrative history of the Hatfield-McCoy feud in 65 years.
