Vendetta
A True Story of the Worst Lynching in America, the Mass Murder of Italian-Americans in New Orleans in 1891, the Vicious Motivations Behind It, and the Tragic Repercussions That Linger to This Day
Richard Gambino
On a rainy New Orleans night many years ago, David Hennessy, a nationally-prominent police superintendent, was gunned down by unknown assailants, identified only as 'Dagoes.' On the basis of this vague and dubious evidence, authorities rounded up nineteen Italian -Americans. The affair produced serious repercussions, leading to the near impeachment of the President and to the brink of war with Italy.
