Although on the face of it the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
the Ku Klux Klan seem to be very different organizations, they have
more in common than one might imagine. In fact, the Bureau and the
Klan share a long and complicated history.Beginning with their
first confrontation in 1922, this book examines the similarities,
covert collaborations and common goals of the FBI and the KKK.
After briefly describing the history of each, it explores the
development of their association and the specific ways in which
each organization furthered the other's goals.The book traces
eighty years of parallel development and the conservative attitudes
that drew the FBI and the KKK together, especially in the area of
civil rights. Political, societal and historical contributions to
the atmosphere that encouraged this complicity are explored in
detail. Statistics regarding Klan membership, racial violence and a
suspicious lack of federal involvement lend support to the author's
analysis of events. Special emphasis is placed on the leaders of
each group, especially J. Edgar Hoover, who shaped the very
foundation of the FBI. The final chapters cover more recent events,
up-to and including those following the 1995 bombing of the federal
building in Oklahoma City.
