Todd tells of the weekend in May 1924 when members of the anti-Catholic organization and students at the Catholic university fought in South Bend, Indiana. To that conflict he traces the decline of the Klan in Indiana and the acceptance of the university and Catholics more generally in the US. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews

History of US that everyone should know about.

History of the power the Klan had in the 20’s.
Unimaginable what was happening in our country . Hard facts to face but necessary . I would urge all to read.

Fear clouds all minds to reason

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016

Anti-Catholicism started well before the Clan. The clan was just another vehicle to be used against the established church. You only have to read what Chemor, chief Rabbi of Spain in 1492, said about Christians and how to defeat them. By using the threat of job loss and the fear generated in the southern states with large African-American populations, it was any easy road to sow the seeds of distrust. Nobody is immune to well placed propaganda. There where others who fought against the clan such as Florynce Kennedy and Gloria Martin to name just a few. Still, a book that deserves a place on any bodies bookshelf.

Pretty darn good, but I'd rather read history

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2004

Verified Purchase

In my opinion, this book rates 4 stars because it deals with an interesting topic, and deals with it in what appears to be a more honest fashion than other so-called historical novels. In fact, I dare say that the book would have been more interesting had it been written as a sober history.

To my mind, the author, though villifying the Indiana Klan leader, was very easy on the organization as a whole. Maybe he's right -- maybe they are simply yokels who are not even worthy of contempt. But I'm surprised that anyone -- especially a Catholic -- would not be more offended by the Klan and the conditions which gave rise to it. (For that matter, I'm surprised that a Catholic would refer to The Catholic Church as the author did not once, but twice -- as a "denomination".

But then perhaps I'm too easily surprised. The author wrote a pretty darn good book. I hope he does a sequel on contemporary anti-Catholicism.

Fills In The Blanks

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2004

I enjoyed this book immensely. While focusing on a little known event in the Catholic experience in America, it actually filled in the blanks on the history of the Ku Klux Klan. I did know that at one time the Klan controlled politics in Indiana, but I was always curious as to how these yokels took over a Northern state. Mr. Tucker does a great job in expressing the emotions and attitudes of 1920's Indiana and probably much of America at that time. This is a great book for anyone interested in Catholic history, US history, and the history of hate groups in the United States. This book is a good read.

A Great Read!

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016

This book is awesome! If you are Catholic, this is a must read. It is well written and tells a great story of the Klan in Indiana vs. Notre Dame. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I liked this book. It also gives a great history on the founding of the school. Also, it leaves out the Notre Dame "holier than thou" attitude that I typically see with Notre Dame books - and alumni!!

The Dark side of Indiana in the 20's

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2011

Verified Purchase

Having read most every book published on the history of Notre Dame this book has some interesting new never before reported discussions on a challenging period in Notre Dame History. Most notably, this book tells of how the true victory over the Klan was the not on the streets of South Bend, but on the sport pages. A good short read.
