"Unmasking the Klansman may read like a work of fiction but is actually a biography of Asa Carter, one of the South's most notorious white supremacists (and secret Klansman). During the 1950s, the North Alabama political firebrand became known across the region for his right-wing radio broadcasts and leadership in the white Citizens' Council movement. Combining racism and thinly-concealed anti-Semitism, he created a secret Klan strike force that engaged in a series of brutal assaults, including an attack on jazz singer Nat King Cole as well as militant civil rights activists. Exploring his life during these years offers new insights into the legal maneuvers as well as the violence used by white Southern segregationists to derail the civil rights movement in the region." -- from publisher's description.

"Autrefois, le Vietnam était une colonie française. Étiré tout au long d'une côte sinueuse, le pays a été divisé en trois régions qui ont été fusionnées dans ce qui a formé l'Indochine qui comprenait outre le Vietnam, le Laos et le Cambodge. La colonisation française s'est étendue sur plus d'un siècle. De nombreux intellectuels vietnamiens ont nourri le désir d'accéder à l'indépendance de leur nation. Confrontés à une puissance coloniale de premier plan qui possédait de vastes territoires à travers le monde, ils se sont alliés malgré leurs divergences, afin de libérer le pays du joug du colonisateur. Adhérer aux valeurs de la franc-maçonnerie leur a donné les moyens et les outils de préserver leur culture et leur langue afin de lutter pour la liberté, l'égalité et la fraternité de manière pacifique. Certains francs-maçons ont eu une influence spectaculaire dans cette guerre du silence. Leurs succès et leurs échecs sont devenus légendaires. Tout pour la liberté et l'indépendance nationale : C'était l'engagement de la majorité des premiers frères de la franc-maçonnerie indochinoise naissante. Ils ont vécu et combattu toute leur vie pour leur idéal de Liberté, d'Égalité et de Fraternité. Leur engagement s'est transformé en légende."--Page 4 of cover.

"From beloved cultural historian and acclaimed author of Ghostland, a history of America's obsession with secret societies and the conspiracies of hidden power The United States was born in paranoia. From the American Revolution (thought by some to be a conspiracy organized by the French) to the Salem witch trials to the Satanic Panic, Illuminati and QAnon, one of the most enduring narratives that defines the United States is simply this: secret groups are conspiring to pervert the will of the people and the rule of law. We'd like to assume these panics exist only at the fringes of society, or are unique features of an internet age. But history tells us, in fact, that they are woven into the fabric of American democracy. Cultural historian Colin Dickey has built a career studying how our most irrational beliefs reach the mainstream, why, and what they tell us about ourselves. In Under the Eye of Power, Dickey charts the history of America through its paranoias and fears of secret societies, while seeking to explain why so many people-including some of the most powerful people in the country-continue to subscribe to these conspiracy theories. Paradoxically, he finds, belief in the fantastical and conspiratorial can be more soothing than what we fear the most: the chaos and randomness of history, the rising and falling of fortunes in America, and the messiness of democracy. Only in seeing the cycle of this history, Dickey says, can we break it"-- Provided by publisher.

"The brilliant, amoral, and spectacularly bold Bessie Tyler and Edward Young Clarke--together, the Southern Publicity Association--met the fervent William Joseph Simmons, saw an opportunity, and played on his many weaknesses. It was the volatile, precarious terrain of Post-World War I America. Tyler and Clarke took Simmons's dying and broke KKK, with its 2,000-3,000 members in Georgia and Alabama, and in a few short years increased its membership to nearly five million. Chapters were established in every state of the union, and the Klan began influencing American political and social life. Between one-third and one-half of the eligible men in the country belonged to the organization. Even to modern sensibilities, the extent of their scheme is shocking: the limitlessness of their audacity; the full-scale and ongoing con of Simmons; the size of the personal fortunes they earned, amassed, stole in the process; and just how easily and expertly they exploited the particular fears and prejudices of every corner of America. You will recognize in this pair a very American sense of showmanship and an accepted, even celebrated, brash entrepreneurial hustle. And, as their story winds down, the tainted and ultimately ineffectual Congressional hearings into the Klan's monumental growth that fizzle into nowhere? They will also seem familiar. For the Kingdom and the Power: The Big Money Swindle That Spread Hate Across America tells a fascinating, powerful, and previously untold story based on Dale Laackman's original research, archival material never before published, Census records, and obscure books and letters. It's the story of an emerging communications industry, an industry filled with potential and fraught with peril. Public Relations, marketing, advertising, and journalism collide on a grand, national stage. America would never be the same."--Jacket
