Very well written and accessible. This also connected some dots for me in regard to certain historical decisions around that time and why some things happened the way they did.

Well-written historical account of the kkk in Indiana. The end felt a bit lacking, too pat and not as insightful as I expected - especially with today's political climate in the US.

A haunting story about the rise of the kkk particularly in Indiana and the fall of a terrible man from power with the testimony of woman who had died by his hands.
