In The Garden of Beasts. Love, terror and an American family in Hitler’s Berlin. Erik Larson
In The Garden of Beasts. Love , terror and an American family in Hitler’s Berlin. Erik Larson. 2011. ISBN 9780307408853. A very good but terrifying book. US Ambassador William Dodd and family and the four years they spent in Berlin as Hitler was seizing more and more power in Germany. YOu follow the acquiescence of the German people and the unwillingness of the world powers to acknowledge what was really happening, which allowed Hitler and his thugs to essentially take the world to war. Another preventable situation (Just like WWI). Clearly and well written this book is full of surprises and dark parts. Human nature remaining what it is, we will likely go down this road again.
