Ten Dollars to Hate: The Texas Man Who Fought the Klan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781623497187)

Ten Dollars to Hate tells the story of the massive Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s--by far the most "successful" incarnation since its inception in the ashes of the Civil War--and the first prosecutor in the nation to successfully convict and jail Klan members. Dan Moody, a twenty-nine-year-old Texas district attorney, demonstrated that Klansmen could be punished for taking the law into their own hands.

"Bernstein's offering is a must-read for those interested in Texas history and for those seeking to better understand the tenor of our own times."--Southwestern Historical Quarterly

"Bernstein has done Texas and the country a favor by documenting Moody's bravado and vanquishing of the Klan"--Corpus Christi Caller-Times
