Review

" 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“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

Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth is a quick, fun, funny, and fascinating read about the first black detective in Colorado Spring, CO, and a case that took him and his fellow officers undercover with the Keystone Klan. The book is riveting because of the absurdity of the situation and because the Klan continues to be an embarrassing poop stain on our nation's history. This story is especially uplifting for two reasons: (1) both the powers that be and those who fight against hate groups in this book, on the whole, seem genuinely dedicated to ridding our country of these hate groups, and (2) these hate groups are ridiculously dumb, especially their leader, the plastic surgery mess formerly known as Grand Dungeon Master David Duke.I admit that the story itself is not the most exciting in the realm of true crime/cop books, but it is one of the most fun. There is no dramatic arrest or trial, this case was about intelligence gathering and crime prevention, and succeeded beyond expectations. Not to downplay the significant achievements that came from this investigation, but Stallworth also successfully made complete fools of Duke and the Klan, and therein lies the fun. By just doing his job, Stallworth hilariously disproves all their delusions of white superiority. And I'm glad this book and Spike Lee's film will renew and add to the mass laughter directed at the Klowns.I recall an episode of some cop show where a cop proudly shows off photos he took of famous landmarks and someone points out that they look like crime scene photos. Stallworth's writing reminded me of this scene because he writes like a cop with a "just the facts, ma'am" police report-like tone. His level-headedness and emotional control made him perfect for undercover work but also made me initially not like the writing. I expect more emotion when I read about hate groups but, by the end, I was a fan of Stallworth's tone and got a kick out of his understatements, which may or may not have been written with a hearty helping of dry sarcasm.One of the most common themes in nonfiction is incompetence, and Black Klansman is no exception. The police certainly make their share of mistakes, including multiple instances of using their own names while undercover, but that did not matter one bit because the Ku Klux Klods were determined to out-idiot everyone. The gang who couldn't think straight, led by Chaotic Evil Grand Elf Paladin Daisy Duke with +5 botox, are actually much dumber than I could have imagined. For a bunch of paranoid bigots, you'd think they'd be more careful about the people who answer their ads and join their "dens" (We're lions! Grrr!), but no, at one point, Duke "inducts" 3 undercover cops into their fold on the same day. They're so desperate to be relevant that they undercut their own efforts, which is so delicious that I made a yummy sound.I was very comforted to know that these idiots couldn't organize a game of tag much less the second civil war they've keep threatening. I'm surprised they're actually able to get their pretty dresses so sparkling white! They are a testament to the power of delusions of grandeur and how those delusions can actually be passed down through the generations. Their obsession with Birth of a Nation is telling, they worship fiction and fantasy (dragons and wizards) because they can't handle reality.One final observation: It's very appropriate that the Klan handshake is almost the same as that handshake where you tickle the other person's palm with your finger.

I really enjoyed reading this true-life account of an undercover policeman. I also enjoyed his professionalism towards all, including David Duke. (He was asked to provide security detail for him when he visited Colorado Springs.)The rule of law is really what contains the alt-right, and I'm wishing for more law enforcement like Mr. Stallworth and less like Joe Arpaio.

I bought this book after seeing the recent movie. It's an amazing moment in the history of Civil Rights, involving several historically significant individuals.As a police officer's memoir of an undercover operation' it is a decent, somewhat "methodical" account of a unique infiltration of a crime network.As an insight into the banality of evil, it's quite good. As literature, it's dry. As suspense, well, real life doesn't work like movies and TV.On a separate note, I do not recommend the new Flatiron Books 2018 edition. It's cut/bound in such a way as to make it quite difficult to read text toward the binding.

I bought this on a whim. I chanced upon an article on the book and clicked over to it. I then read the sample and wanted to read the rest.The book probably could have used another edit or two. But the writing and story are down to earth and sincere. As a result, the grittiness helps remind the reader that this is a true story first person account from the cop himself and it actually enhances the experience. It comes off as very personal as if you are brought deep into the author's confidence. The book also delves into the career of the officer/detective and gives interesting insights into his “Jackie Robinson” journey. This is a fascinating and earnest account of one of the first black cops who undertakes a pet project – to infiltrate the KKK.It is a definitely a page turner.

It turns out that about 25% of the recent Spike Lee movie was fictional, but some of the wildest moments (the Polaroid scene) are identical to the book. So is the overall story line. The author is so likable and thoughtful that the book was more engaging and nuanced than the movie. It made it a compelling read and a convincing case that our racist past is not entirely behind us. My hat is off to this brave policeman.

This is my second copy of the Black Klansman, the first book was borrowed and passed along. This is my Kindle copy. A true story reads in straight language as if the author is speaking to you. The inside story of the pain and suffering of the writer and ridiculous belief of the KKK. I suggest you read the book and come to your own opinion of the book, I am sure as the reviews come in they will cover both the negative and positive. In my personal opinion I believe the book is an excellent source of direct information on the subversive group and I praise Ron Stallworth for his courage and investigation.

This is truly a unique and outstanding story. Sgt. Stallworth is a man of great character and through his choices during his career he did his lion's share fighting racism. I would recommend this book to anyone.
