A Gripping Chronicle of America's Most Turbulent Era In American Midnight, master historian Adam Hochschild shines a light on the overlooked period between 1917 and 1921. While the world was at war, the United States was embroiled in a "violent peace" characterized by mass arrests, censorship, and a domestic crackdown on civil liberties that nearly destroyed American democracy.
