Description: "Invisible Empire charts 180 years of Ku Klux Klan activity in Florida, one of the Klan's most violent and enduring realms.".

"In addition to recounting tales of violence, Newton addresses the critical question of how the hooded night riders continue to survive - a bitter, marginalized extremist movement that is still marching in what is arguably the Deep South's most progressive and ethnically diverse state. He also discusses how to curb guerrilla warfare before the Klan and its allies inaugurate a new century of terror."--BOOK JACKET.
