I'm writing a novel (isn't everyone?) And one of the central characters is a working class German immigrant who is a card carrying socialist. The book takes place in a moderately sized city, not a metropolis like New York or Chicago. So, I'm looking for a ground level perspective, not that grand overviews wouldn't be unhelpful but the nitty gritty is what I'm looking for. Thank you so much.
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
