A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to… por Timothy Egan
A charismatic leader...you know that never leads to anything good. It's pretty alarming how D.C. Stephenson was able to tap into people's fears about those who are different than them and convince so many to join the Klan. Hmmm, sounds pretty similar to a current-day political cult figure...
Interesting, appalling, eye opening. I learned a lot and still think about this book months later.
A compelling story. We get the stories of the many men who played a part in both trying to fight the fires and to understand the part fires play in forests. The stories of injustice, sacrifices unrewarded, racism never addressed make the book particularly poignant.
Absolutely magnificient in the historical telling of the rise of the KKK in the 1920's and the Grand Draon, David Stephenson and the woman who was finally brave enough to "out" him for the o=monster he was. He kidnapped Madge Oberholtzer, raped her, left horrific bite marks, and threatened her to the point that she took poison. On her death bed, she wrote and notarized her torture and he was finally convicted. He was scum, egotistical to a degree that he declared "I am the law", a money launder, a liar, a thief - sounds just like Trump. A frightening story with its parallels to the climate in our country today. Madge caused the "fever in the heartland" to break and the Klan membership went down but the Klan was already rotten to the core and unravelling. He was a flim-flam man to the 9th degree and it is fascinating to watch how he puts people under his spell until he controls the political and justice system.… (más)
