American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy’s Forgotten Crisis

byAdam Hochschild

Centered on the great war, a violent peace, and democracy’s forgotten crisis, American Midnight shows Adam Hochschild tracing how individual lives intersect with institutions, ideas, and historical change. American Midnight combines archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of history and political science, American Midnight explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the great war, a violent peace, and democracy’s forgotten crisis emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
