The best things said about it
Linda Gordon's book is really special.
One of the things that is pointed out in the fantastic Linda Gordon book The Second Coming of the KKK is that this was not radical at the time.
That was the most important thing I wanted to get across in this book.
Why people recommend it
The Second Coming of the KKK by Linda Gordon examines the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan during the 1920s and its deep integration into American political and social traditions. The book gained high praise on The Book Review, where Gilbert Cruz featured author Linda Gordon as a guest and highlighted a review calling the text mandatory reading. Gordon discussed her primary objective of exposing the extensive political reach the Klan managed to secure during that era. Robert Evans also strongly advocated for the book on Behind the Bastards, utilizing it as a foundational source for episodes exploring the grifters who resurrected the organization. Evans cited Gordon to demonstrate to listeners that the bigotry and exclusion propagated by the Klan were not merely fringe phenomena at the time, but rather views held widely within mainstream culture. Furthermore, Evans read passages from the book detailing how shrewd publicity agents viewed the newly formed clan groups as exceptionally lucrative business opportunities, driving rapid expansion through calculated media outreach.

“The second coming of the KKK summarizes, quote, "Three Oregon cases known as the Oregon outrages captured widespread press attention when night w writers terrified their victims with such lynching threats.”
“However, in the conclusion of the second coming to of the KKK, Linda Gordon makes this note. Some scholars and contemporary observers have seen the 1920s northern clan as a failure because it was shortlived and because its campaigns against Catholics and Jews did not manage to confine them to secondass citizenship.”
