This was difficult to read because of the horrible acts described, but it is important to know this history.

This book looks at an era in American history filled with requirements of loyalty, vicious anti-immigrant rhetoric, jailing (or attempting to jail) those with different political opinions, censorship of written materials certain people don‘t like and more. Sounds awfully familiar, doesn‘t it? But it‘s about the era starting in 1917. While my attention to this did wane in places, overall it‘s an interesting, topical book.
Really interesting history of WWI and a few years afterward. There was a lot of new information for me- prison for those opposing the war, socialism, immigration, entering the war, diplomatic relations, etc. the author subtly connected today to 100 years ago in an interesting and thoughtful manner. Well written and provided lesser known, yet important, history of the US.
