Klein is Assistant Professor of History at Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, TX.  He earned his doctorate from Oklahoma State University, Department of History, in 2003.  This book was a finalist in the non-fiction category for the 2009 Oklahoma Book Awards from the Oklahoma Center for the Book.

A cultural and social history of liquor in early Oklahoma, Grappling with Demon Rum provides a fresh look at vice crusaders at the regional level.  In portraying this conflict between middle- and working-class definitions of social propriety, Klein provides new insight into forces at work throughout America during the Progressive Era.
