KKK

The Klan in the City is such a sufficient book to explain how deep the roots of the Klan has reached by the time passed in that Mr. Jackson demonstrates that also some relatively newer cities have been in relation with the Klan. I really enjoyed reading the book, for I like reading books about America, particularly those ones that are about groups like the Klan. My only observation about the book is that it is concerned about the Klan in only 1920s. I would be more interested in it if only it contained more details about the first foundation of the Klan in 1865 after the Civil War. That's why I gave only 4 stars. Generally speaking, this is one the best books about the Klan that I can highly recommend.
