Description

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Grove/Atlantic, Incorporated, 1991. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. On March 20, 1981, Michael Donald, a nineteen-year-old technical student was randomly abducted, savagely murdered, and left hanging from the bough of an elm tree, in one of the most publicized race murders in recent times. Six years later his mother was awarded the record sum of $7 million in damages from the Ku Klux Klan. The power behind this landmark lawsuit was the Southern Poverty Law Center's Klanwatch Project. Since its founding in 1980, Klanwatch has successfully challenged the KKK in courtrooms throughout the United States. Using corporate law in pursuit of criminal justice, the organization has set out to virtually bankrupt the Klan out of business. More than a history, this is an in-depth account--harrowing, provocative, and at times grimly comic--of the ingenious strategies Klanwatch has used to fight the KKK, often succeeding where even the police and the FBI have failed. It is also the story of the great personal courage, skill, stamina, and sheer luck that have gone into so much of Klanwatch's work. Finally, it offers an arresting portrait of the Ku Klux Klan itself, a bizarre and terrifying coalition that has been a destructive social and political force in the South for over a century and remains a menacing presence on the American landscape. Fine, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. CC

(Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person.

You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
