If I had to read one book about the hooded order, it would be Patsy Sims's The Klan.
~Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center and author of Gather
The interviews, plums in any reporter's pie, are fascinating studies enriched by the writer's research.
~Philadelphia Inquirer
That her subjects talked so freely is a tribute to her skill.
~Publisher's Weekly
Sims's classic 1978 study of the revitalized Invisible Empire, The Klan, has just been reissued.... There are obvious echoes of today's new militias in the seventies Klan rhetoric that Sims recreated verbatim.
~The Nation
Fascinative and valuable, perhaps the closest thing to a modern history yet compiled about the Klan movement.
~Chicago Tribune
Provides some excellent insight into the leadership of the 1970s Klan.
~Illinois Historical Journal
Readers interested in racism, the psychology of hate, civil rights, and all of the other issues revolving around the continuing 'American dilemma' will find this work to be a valuable addition to their library.
