Not By The Sword

How A Cantor And His Family Transformed A Klansman

BY KATHRYN WATTERSON

Brief Description:
Watterson tells how a Grand Dragon of the KKK, who was also a major Midwestern link in America's white supremacy movement, renounced his racist and Nazi activities after being befriended by a Jewish cantor and his family. Stories of the African-American, Vietnamese and Jewish communities and their history in Nebraska, as well as an examination of the inner life of one of the nation's terrorists in the white supremacy movement, provide a larger context for this story about hatred and love, courage and transformation, in America today. "Not by the Sword is," according to Cornel West, "one of the most powerful, painful, yet healing stories about our most explosive issue - race."
