I read THE KLANSMAN a year or two ago and enjoyed getting to see such an unspoken perspective on the Reconstruction Era in the South. THE TRAITOR is a sequel to the book and offered the same. While it is obviously profoundly biased, it shows what was obviously the viewpoint of Southerners following their defeat in their War for Independence.
While THE KLANSMAN showed the formation of the Ku Klux Klan as some noble band of vigilantes fighting against the lawless rule of the occupying army, THE TRAITOR shows the end of its usefulness and subsequent disbanding, and follows a melodramatic romance of what happens when local good-for-nothings continue to operate as Klansman, but only as a cover for committing petty crimes.
It’s a maudlin and silly book, but worth reading for historical purposes.
As what must be one of the only unabashed defenses of a universally despised organization, but one which once held the sympathies of so much of the country for so long, this series is certainly worth reading.
