Justice was done! Sadly, it often isn’t. A man who takes will keep on taking until there’s nothing left to take. She hasn’t stopped him, he would’ve continued his savagery. But mostly, felt good that a woman won.

4.25

A very in depth look at the history of the KKK with a focus on what enabled the group to rise to power and what ended up doing them in. The storytelling is very dynamic and does not shy away from the grisly details that are needed to provide the proper impact. Without this book, far fewer people would know Madge’s name and it is great to see a book that highlights a minority where history would usually erase her. Definitely recommend checking the TW given the topics discussed.

informative medium-paced

4.5

While feel the way the story is told is more like 4 stars it starts pretty slow), the urgency of the history is worth 5 stars. 

Shocking in its breadth and detail, terrifying in its modern day parallels, this is a book every American should be required to read.
