The Klan

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.
