Beschreibung

In this book David Cunningham tells the story of the astounding trajectory of the Klan during the 1960s by focusing on the pivotal and under-explored case of the United Klans of America (UKA) in North Carolina. Why the KKK flourished in the Tar Heel state presents a fascinating puzzle and a window into the complex appeal of the Klan as a whole.
