In A Fever in the Heartland, embark on a gripping journey through one of the darkest and most disturbing chapters of American history—the rise and fall of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s. This audiobook delves into the Klan’s resurgence, exploring how it capitalized on social fear, political turmoil, and cultural shifts to regain influence across the United States, particularly in the Midwest.
 
Led by figures like D.C. Stephenson, the Klan expanded its reach into local governments and law enforcement, embedding itself deeply into the fabric of American life. With its rhetoric of nationalism and white supremacy, the Klan thrived on divisiveness, targeting not only African Americans but also immigrants, Catholics, and Jews. However, as its influence grew, so did the organization’s internal corruption and hypocrisy.
