The book delves into the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, challenging common perceptions of its members and highlighting the group's role in fostering a Jim Crow racial hierarchy. It explores how the "second Klan" capitalized on xenophobia related to immigration, growing to millions of members through secretive rituals and sensationalist media. This history serves as both a cautionary tale and an expose, drawing unsettling parallels to contemporary issues of intolerance and hate in America. The inclusion of illustrations enhances the narrative.
