"A story worth telling, and in American Midnight, the historian Adam Hochschild...recounts it with verve and insight ... This is, to be sure, history with a purpose, not a search for a 'usable history' that seeks a past that provides comfort and moral elevation for the present. The purpose here is prevention ... In examining this forgotten hiccough in the country's history, we encounter several unforgettable figures who come to life on these pages ... This book is, above all, a chronicle of dissent in a democracy, setting forth in vivid languages the abuses and extremes that characterized the period during and shortly after the great crusade ... Much of what Hochschild examines in this volume will be news to his readers. It is, ultimately, news we all can use."
