The Klan Unmasked
by Stetson Kennedy Reprint of 1954 edition Stetson Kennedy here tells the story of his post-World War II years as an undercover agent in the KKK (where he rose to Kleagle rank). Fast-paced and suspenseful, the book is a gripping mix of eyewitness reports of Klan activities, accounts of Kennedy’s clandestine information-gathering, and his efforts to report his findings to the media and to any law enforcement agencies that would listen. As a result, for a time in the 1940s, Washington news commentator Drew Pearson was reading Klan meeting minutes on national radio, and radio’s Superman had America’s kids sharing the most current Klan passwords as fast as the Dragon could think up new ones. Stetson Kennedy is the
author of Palmetto Country, Southern
Exposure, After Appomattox, and Jim
Crow Guide: The Way It Was, all reissued in paperback by UPF.
He has received numerous honors recognizing his work for peace and
racial equality, from the Negro Freedom Rally People's Award in 1947
to the 1991 Cavallo Foundation Award for civic courage. 1990. 285pp. 6 X 9. Photographs.
