Book Review - A Fever in the Heartland

A Fever in the Heartland
Title - A Fever in the Heartland - The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them
Author: Timothy Egan
My Rating: 👍👍👍👍👍
My Review: I really enjoyed this book. It's a perfect example of why it is so important to teach history, good and bad, in schools today. I had no idea how powerful KKK was back in the 1920's and how close it came to taking over the country. What's especially frightning is how close the story describes what's going on in America today.

Description (Audible): A historical thriller by the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author that tells the riveting story of the Klan's rise to power in the 1920s, the cunning con man who drove that rise, and the woman who stopped them.
