Overview
""Knights of the Ku Klux Klan"" is a non-fiction book written by Winfield Jones. It is a comprehensive study of the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist organization that has been active in the United States since the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed history of the Klan, including its origins, its rise to power in the early 20th century, and its decline in the mid-20th century. Jones also explores the Klan's ideology, which is based on white supremacy, anti-Semitism, and anti-Catholicism. He examines the Klan's rituals and symbols, including the infamous white hood and robe, and discusses the organization's use of violence and intimidation to achieve its goals. The book also delves into the various factions of the Klan, including the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which was founded in the 1970s by David Duke, a former leader of the American Nazi Party. Jones examines Duke's leadership of the organization, as well as the Klan's attempts to rebrand itself as a more mainstream political movement in the 1980s and 1990s. Overall, ""Knights of the Ku Klux Klan"" provides a thorough and insightful look at one of the most notorious hate groups in American history.
