Book excerpt: "In 1920, a young county attorney takes on the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma. This true story tells of a three year battle that Claude Hendon, a county attorney wages to bring down the powerful Ku Klux Klan in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. In that battle, members of the local Klan whipping teams are prosecuted and sent to jail along with county Klan leaders. At the state level in late 1923, the Klan controlled legislature impeaches and removes Claude's ally, Governor Jack Walton of Oklahoma. At the same time, the state attorney general, a Ku Klux Klan supporter, puts Claude on trial on charges of bribery, drunkenness and failure to conduct a special election as mandated by the legislature. Threatened, shot at, physically beaten, and hauled into court, can Claude save himself and win his battle to rid the county of the Ku Klux Klan?"--Cover.
