As soon as I picked up and started reading LESSONS FROM A DARK TIME, I wanted to have this conversation with ADAM HOCHSCHILD. As a writer, he doesn\u2019t waste your time. He brings an artist\u2019s touch and a moralist\u2019s conscience to the issues and events he grapples with. He\u2019s one of the founders of Mother Jones Magazine, and threaded through his journalism and his books - King Leopold\u2019s Ghost, Spain in Our Hearts among them - is his concern for social justice and the people who fight for it. How did we get thorough dark times in our past? How are we going to get through these?
