A friend recommended this book to me. It's a quick read with a great, and surprising twist to the plot. What caught my intrigue was how the book showed a different perspective on the kkk than what I grew up with in Indiana. I was well aware of the klan from a distance, and even ran across some of their "work" as late as the 1970s (sad to say). But not until I read this book did I realize what this secret organization was really about.

Based on a true story, and with a bit of Irish humor, the author writes about his uncle's unfortunate dealings with the klan. I'd like my teenager to read this book. And your too, for that matter. It would be great required reading at school.
