As a narrative, "A Fever in the Heartland" is gripping; as a rumination on the moral obscenity of white supremacy -- whatever guises it wears -- the book is damning." -- The New York Times Book Review "A master class in the tools of narrative nonfiction: high stakes, ample suspense and sweeping historical phenomena made vivid through the dramatic actions of individual villains and heroes." -- The Washington Post "Riveting...Egan is a brilliant researcher and lucid writer." -- Star Tribune "Masterful...this is a fascinating read and revelation of American history." --The Spokesman-Review "With narrative elan, Egan gives us a riveting saga of how a predatory con man became one of the most powerful people in 1920s America, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, with a plan to rule the country--and how a grisly murder of a woman brought him down. Compelling and chillingly resonant with our own time." --Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile "Timothy Egan's history of the Ku Klux Klan's rise and fall is absolutely gripping. It is also terrifyingly relevant." --Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Sixth Extinction "Egan has done it again, mastering another complicated American story with authority and surprising detail. The Klan here are not the nightriders of the late 19th century, but a retooled special interest group and unusually potent political power. The influence they wielded over states and policy should put a chill in every American. Bravo." --Ken Burns "With meticulous detective work, Timothy Egan shines a light on one of the most sinister chapters in American history--how a viciously racist movement, led by a murderous conman, rose to power in the early twentieth century.

Synopsis
The Roaring Twenties-the Jazz Age-was also the height of the uniquely American hate group the Ku Klux Klan. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics, and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to deny them the American promise. And behind their takeover of the Heartland and the West was a charismatic charlatan named D. C. Stephenson. Within two years of Stephenson's arrival in Indiana, he'd become the Grand Dragon of the state and led the group out of the shadows to be celebrated at local churches, family picnics, and town gatherings. Judges, prosecutors, governors, and senators proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of Stephenson's influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman-Madge Ober-holtzer-whose deathbed testimony revealed his secret cruelties and finally brought the Klan to their knees. A Fever in the Heartland marries a propulsive drama to a powerful, page-turning reckoning with one of the darkest threads in American history., The Roaring Twenties - the Jazz Age - has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson. Stephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling. Within two years of his arrival in Indiana, he d become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows - their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches, spread at family picnics and town celebrations. Judges, prosecutors, ministers, governors and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of his influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman - Madge Oberholtzer - who would reveal his secret cruelties, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees. A Fever in the Heartland marries a propulsive drama to a powerful and page-turning reckoning with one of the darkest threads in American history.
