The aftermath of the Civil War saw the Ku Klux Klan founded as a
white supremacist insurgency of former Confederate rebels. But the
Klan saw its greatest growth in the first decades of the 20th
century. By 1925, with a membership of about four million, it was
established in every state of the Union. Fueling its incredible
growth was a potent combination of public relations expertise and
high-pressure sales tactics applied to the business of hate. Its
sinister legacy still confronts us today. Collected here for the
first time is a massive dossier of original source material
documenting this bizarre episode of American history. Materials
include government reports; long-hidden pages from the Klan's own
handbook; pro- and anti-Klan articles from newspapers and magazines
of the period; and much more, including the complete text of Ezra
A. Cook's classic piece of investigative reporting, "Ku Klux Klan:
Secrets Exposed." All unabridged.
