Just finished this non fiction book about Berlin and Germany during Hitler's rise to power
I loved Larson's THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY & also ISAAC'S STORM and could not put them down. This was slower going. Like reading a term paper. But watching Hitler and Germany get away with their crimes against humanity while the world's democracies handled it with a policy of "appeasement" was unbelievably difficult some 70 years after the fact.
The book centers around Wm Dodd,America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany. Lots of documented events reported here. I even learned more historical information in the footnotes and the acknowledgments.
I do recommend it as it provides a look at what can happen if you do not attack a problem or try to remove a tumor before it takes over and destroys the quality of life as you know it.
