Reviews

"Until now, the best compilation on the activities of the Ku Klux Klan has been William H. Fisher's The Invisible Empire.... Both the Fisher and Davis/Sims-Wood bibliographies cite monographs, pamphlets, documents, dissertaions, and archival materials; but in contrast to Fisher, Davis and Sims-Wood offer 10,000 entries, nearly 75 percent of which are newspaper articles. These include coverage of foreign countries as well as 48 states. Two appendixes provide lists of Klan publications and archival and manuscript collections. ... [This] bibliography is the most comprehensive resource currently available on the Klan. Every library supporting programs in American history, political science, sociology, and Afro-American studies must buy it."-Choice
Access to important materials is simplified dramatically in this well-arranged volume. Beginning with Major Works, Books and Pamphlets, ' the work identifies dissertations, theses, official Klan documents and publications, and government documents. Even speeches and records of Klan spokespersons are included to round out the available information. Almost any library which is concerned with U.S. history (particularly those which specialize in social and historical phenomena) can benefit from this volume.-Reference Books Bulletin
