Description
In this searching family memoir, Edward Ball investigates the life of an ancestor who participated in the Ku Klux Klan during the violent aftermath of the Civil War. Moving between archival research, historical reconstruction, and personal reflection, he examines how racial terror, white supremacy, and inherited privilege shaped both his family and the nation. The book offers a deeply personal reckoning with American history, asking what it means to confront wrongdoing carried across generations. Written with the rigor of a historian and the candor of a memoirist, it explores memory, responsibility, and the possibility of moral understanding without surrendering accountability.
