Reviews

" A fascinating memoir of an extraordinary inquiry into a recrudescent Knights of the Ku Klux Klan."
-- The San Francisco Chronicle

"I was just blown away. I couldn't believe I had never heard about it. It's one of these pieces of reality that almost plays like social satire. I was immediately obsessed with this story."
-Jordan Peele in The Hollywood Reporter

"A direct, furious protest against the Trump era."
-- The New York Times


"The astonishing true story of one of the riskiest undercover investigations in American history -- an improbable early-'70s case in which black police detective Ron Stallworth applied for and was ultimately granted membership in the Ku Klux Klan... a compelling black empowerment story."
-- Variety

"A searing look at hate groups from the inside out, as well as a captivating true story that you'll never forget."
-- Bustle

"Stallworth's story is so wild you can barely believe it--but certainly not wilder than the virulent resurgence of white supremacy in this country, so extreme it goes beyond the reach of satire."
-- Time Magazine
