Synopsis
A history of the Ku Klux Klan from Reconstruction to the present day. Wade (The Titanic: End of a Dream) trods well-covered ground but manages to do so in a vital manner. Typical of his approach is his snappy beginning in which he counters the traditional conception of the Klan as having been born as a reaction to Reconstruction: ""Actually, the Klan had already been born and was active in at least three Southern states before any of the state governments were radically reconstructed."" The name of the organization came from the Greek word for ""circle,"" kuklos. ""Call it kuklux,"" James Crowe suggested, ""and no one will know what it means."" Added John Kennedy: ""And add klan, as we are all of Scotch-Irish descent.
