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

The 1920s in the USA. What pops into your mind? The Great Gatsby? Elliott Ness? Prohibition? Flappers and machine guns?
Think again.
That we don't seem to know or remember this part of our history is why it appears to be recycling.
One hundred years later in the 2020s and the the parallels are striking.
Perhaps I should re-shelve this to the Horror section.
This should woke everyone up.

Added, for when I can stomach it. I hate that we keep recycling instead of evolving as a species.

To answer your question…history unfortunately repeats itself because we have no knowledge and understanding of history as a species, or rather, a DESIRE to study it (of course, I’m generalizing). But what if every Millennial - embarrassed that’s me 🫤 - or gen Z would crack a library book v. going on social media for news/other people’s ideas? Definitely adding this book.
