Parents? Family Background and Business edit

Need more info on Adam's early life and its influence on his views and work. The Hochschild family is said to have been very prominent once. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.162.253.101 (talk) 21:19, 20 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bibliography edit

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

If the excerpt is a fairly short one, not more than a paragraph or two, and is properly credited to my book, it’s fine with me if you quote it on Wikipedia.

All the best, Adam Hochschild

American Midnight edit

American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis (2022), covers the period between World War I and the Roaring Twenties.

Can be expanded, his lastest book. From Amazon:

The nation was on the brink. Mobs burned Black churches to the ground. Courts threw thousands of people into prison for opinions they voiced—in one notable case...Self-appointed vigilantes executed tens of thousands of citizens’ arrests. Some seventy-five newspapers and magazines were banned from the mail and forced to close. When the government stepped in, it was often to fan the flames.

I got a notice about having a potential conflict of interest with Adam Hochschild. Nope. I just support fervently peace movements, and his book Break the Chains is absolutly brilliant. May1787 (talk) 02:20, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
