The Friends of Princeton University Library welcome award-winning author and legendary historian Adam Hochschild, who gives an illustrated lecture based on his latest book, “American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis.”
“American Midnight,” a national bestseller, is a “‘masterly’ (New York Times) reassessment of the overlooked but startlingly resonant period between World War I and the Roaring Twenties, when the foundations of American democracy were threatened by war, pandemic, and violence fueled by battles over race, immigration, and the rights of labor.”
