Description
Stanley Frost, a journalist, published The Challenge of the Klan in 1924, when the second Ku Klux Klan was near its peak. The new Klan had grown fast in the early 1920s, claiming millions of members and real political power. Frost set out to report how it worked and why it spread.
Frost traced the Klan's leaders, money, recruiting, and use of fear, and he reported on violence linked to its robes and secrecy. He treated the Klan not as a passing scare but as a test for American law and public life. His account remains a close, early look at the movement from outside its ranks.
