About this book

Few American organizations are as well known, or as often misdescribed, as the Ku Klux Klan. Since its founding in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1865, it has risen and collapsed more than once, yet most people picture a single Klan, and much of that picture comes from films and television.

This book takes twenty persistent myths about the Klan and sets each one against the historical evidence, separating the Hollywood version from what actually happened, when and where.
