A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan

A well-written history of a dark time in American history. The book has loads of information, but is written in a digestible manner.
This story is not one that is taught in schools about 1920s America, but I think it is incredible important to understand this time was not just the Gatsby era as many of us believe.
The story is also a triumph of the judicial system, especially considering the opinions of the highest court around this time.
