A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan is a work of narrative non-fiction that details the rapid, largely forgotten rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s, particularly in the American Midwest. The book explores how a charismatic, sociopathic leader named D.C. Stephenson built a powerful, mainstream hate organization based on "100% Americanism," targeting Blacks, Catholics, Jews, and immigrants.
