THEY CALLED THEMSELVES THE K.K.K. : THE BIRTH OF AN AMERICAN TERRORIST GROUP
By: Bartoletti, Susan Campbell
Boys, let us get up a club. With those words, six restless young men raided
the linens at a friend's mansion, pulled pillowcases over their heads, hopped on
horses, and cavorted through the streets of Pulaski, Tennessee. The six friends
named their club the Ku Klux Klan, and, all too quickly, their club grew into
the self-proclaimed Invisible Empire with secret dens spread across the South.
This is the story of how a secret terrorist group took root in America's
democracy. Filled with chilling and vivid personal accounts unearthed from oral
histories, congressional documents, and diaries, it is a book to read and
remember. TitlePeek
