In popular American mythology we leap from the war to the roaring twenties. This willful historical amnesia blots out one of the darkest periods in American history – the severe state repression of political dissidents, the press, labor and Black Americans. This state repression saw the widespread use of political repression, mass imprisonments, deportations, torture, vigilante violence, censorship, killings of Black Americans and the crushing of labor movements.

Join Michael in his discussion with Adam Hochschild about his new book, American Midnight: The Great War, A Violent Peace and Democracy’s Forgotten Crisis. This most important book examines the period from 1917-1921, when the toxic undercurrents of racism, nativism, Red-baiting, and contempt for the rule of law flowed throughout American life. Never was the raw underside of our nation’s life more revealingly on display during this critical time in our nation’s history and is all but forgotten even though there are so many parallels to the events of today.

"This book is about what's missing," writes Hochschild, "It's a story of mass imprisonments, torture, vigilante violence, censorship, killings of Black Americans, and far more that is not marked by commemorative plaques, museum exhibits, or Ken Burns documentaries."
