The Black Hood of the Ku Klux Klan, Paperback / softback Book

The Black Hood of the Ku Klux Klan Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This is one of the most unusual stories of the Ku Klux Klan and American law enforcement ever to be undertaken.

Whereas violence toward blacks was an accepted part of the Klan credo, violence toward whites, particularly respected members of their communities, was virtually unknown until this case.

Jim Ruiz, a Louisiana police veteran and historian, provides an exhilarating and compelling account of the brutal murder of two white men in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana.

The Black Hood of the Ku Klux Klan also delves into the investigation that followed the murders and demonstrates the iron grip of the Ku Klux Klan in the South during the early twentieth century.

This is not merely a chronicle of one instance of extreme violence; this is a portrait of a society muted by fear and intimidation.
