And in a few  months, an American battleship will explode in a Cuban  harbor, plunging the U.S. into war. This is the story of  that extraordinary moment: the turn of the twentieth  century, as seen by one of our greatest storytellers of all  time...'A Moment in the Sun' takes the whole era in its  sights--from the white-racist coup in Wilmington, North  Carolina to the bloody dawn of U.S. interventionism  overseas. Beginning with Hod Brackenridge searching for his  fortune in the North, and hurtling forward across five  years and half a dozen countries...this is a story as big  as its subject: history rediscovered through the lives of  the people who made it happen."--P. [4] of cover.},
