The bestselling author of "Devil in the White City" turns his hand to a remarkable story set during Hitler's rise to power. The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history.

Review of "In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin" on 'Goodreads'

A great read

It's an odd way to approach the subject but it does work. Larson describes Hitler's rise and the runup to the war exclusively through the experiences of one family, that of Ambassador Dodd.
