The first edition of this work by the folklorist and activist Kennedy, preceding an abridged US edition and the eventual reissue as The Klan Unmasked in 2011. Kennedy garnered fame and respect for his work in infiltrating the Klan and various far right associations in America, and was in large part responsible for the Klan losing its national corporate charter in 1947. Following on from the more serious, documentary tone of his 1946 work Southern Exposure, this work was wilfully written in a more "pot boiler" style, imitative of Mickey Spillane.
