''The Flaming Sword'' was a 1939 novel by Thomas Dixon, Jr.. It was his twenty-eighth and last novel.〔(Project Muse )〕 It has been described as "a racist jeremiad centered on the specter of black sexuality."〔Alusine Jalloh, Toyin Falola, ''The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations'', Rochester, New York: University of Rochester Press, 2008 p. 86()〕
==Background==
The novel is the last installment of a trilogy which included ''The Clansman'' and ''The Birth of a Nation''.〔Anthony Slide, ''American Racist: The Life and Films of Thomas Dixon'', Lexington, Kentucky: University Press of Kentucky, 2004, pp. 186-189 ()〕 It is partly based on ''The Red Dawn'', a play written by Dixon in 1919.〔
Dixon worked sixteen hours a day on this novel.〔Jason Morgan Ward, ''Defending White Democracy: The Making of a Segregationist Movement and the Remaking of Racial Politics, 1936-1965'', Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press, 2011, pp. 31-32 ()〕 The book came with thirty pages of illustrations done by Edward Shenton.〔 It was published by Monarch Publishing, owned by Edward Young Clarke, a Ku Klux Klan member.〔
