With its fiery crosses and nightriders in pointed hoods and flowing
robes, the Ku Klux Klan remains a recurring nightmare in American
life. What began in the earliest post-Civil War days as a social
group engaging in drunken hijinks at the expense of perceived
inferiors soon turned into a murderous paramilitary organization
determined to resist the ""evils"" of radical Reconstruction. For
six generations and counting, the Klan has inflicted misery and
death on countless victims nationwide and since the early 1920s,
has expanded into distant corners of the globe. From the Klan's
post-Civil War lynchings in support of Jim Crow laws, to its bloody
stand against desegregation during the 1960s, to its continued
violence in the militia movement at the turn of the 21st century,
this revealing volume chronicles the complete history of the
world's oldest surviving terrorist organization from 1866 to the
present. The story is told without embellishment because, as this
work demonstrates, the truth about the Ku Klux Klan is grim enough.
