Reviews
"With narrative elan, Egan gives us a riveting saga of how a predatory con man became one of the most powerful people in 1920s America, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, with a plan to rule the country--and how a grisly murder of a woman brought him down. Compelling and chillingly resonant with our own time." --Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile "Timothy Egan's history of the Ku Klux Klan's rise and fall is absolutely gripping. It is also terrifyingly relevant." --Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer-Prize winning author of The Sixth Extinction "Egan has done it again, mastering another complicated American story with authority and surprising detail. The Klan here are not the nightriders of the late 19th century, but a retooled special interest group and unusually potent political power. The influence they wielded over states and policy should put a chill in every American. Bravo." --Ken Burns "With meticulous detective work, Timothy Egan shines a light on one of the most sinister chapters in American history--how a viciously racist movement, led by a murderous conman, rose to power in the early twentieth century. A Fever in the Heartland is compelling, powerful, and profoundly resonant today." --David Grann, author of The Wager and Killers of the Flower Moon "[A] riveting exposé." --Booklist, starred review "Riveting history.....excellently rendered." --Kirkus, starred review, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Washington Post Notable Work of Nonfiction An NPR Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year A Chicago Review of Books Best Book of the Year A California Review of Books Best Book of the Year A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year A BookPage Best Book of the Year A Library Journal Best Book of the Year A Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist Amazon's Best Books of the Year (History) Barnes & Noble Best Books of the Year (History) "Powerful . . .

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A Washington Post Notable Work of Nonfiction - An NPR Best Book of the Year - A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year - A Chicago Review of Books Best Book of the Year - A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year - A Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist "With narrative elan, Egan gives us a riveting saga of how a predatory con man became one of the most powerful people in 1920s America, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, with a plan to rule the country--and how a grisly murder of a woman brought him down. Compelling and chillingly resonant with our own time." --Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile "Riveting...Egan is a brilliant researcher and lucid writer." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune A historical thriller by the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author that tells the riveting story of the Klan's rise to power in the 1920s, the cunning con man who drove that rise, and the woman who stopped them. The Roaring Twenties--the Jazz Age--has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson. Stephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling. Within two years of his arrival in Indiana, he'd become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows - their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches, spread at family picnics and town celebrations. Judges, prosecutors, ministers, governors and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of his influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman - Madge Oberholtzer - who would reveal his secret cruelties, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees.
