Audio CD Hardcover Paperback Mass Market Paperback Kindle Edition"Black Klansman: Race, Hate, and the Undercover Investigation of a Lifetime" is a memoir by Ron Stallworth, the first African American detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department. The book tells the story of Stallworth's undercover operation in the late 1970s, in which he infiltrated a local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan and ultimately prevented a cross burning. Throughout the book, Stallworth reflects on his experiences with racism and bigotry, both as a law enforcement officer and as a Black man. He describes the challenges of working undercover with the Klan, the internal conflicts he faced in reconciling his job with his racial identity, and the enduring impact of his investigation. The book sheds light on the persistence of racism and white supremacy in America, and the urgent need for individuals and institutions to fight bigotry in all its forms.
