The Ku Klux Klan : An American History Hardback

Description
For the past 150 years, the Ku Klux Klan has murdered and tortured its way through US history.
By reputation it is one of the most notorious and ultra-violent terrorist groups in the world; even today the Klan occasionally rears its ugly, trademarked, hooded head.
But the truth is that it has been in terminal decline since the 1960s – and the myth is now far more dangerous than the reality. From its Civil War origins as an insurgency in the defeated South, the Klan became a mass movement in the 1920s and a byword for bigotry and racism in the civil rights era.
Since then, however, its numbers have fallen; yet it remains a potent symbol of white supremacist terror in our polarised world.
Drawing on twenty years of primary research, The Ku Klux Klan: An American History seeks to demystify one of the most hated, feared and poorly understood organisations in history.
