streator 's review for:

In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson

4.0

---

A sadly Timely read. Written with the typical Erik Larson elan, it is the story of our ambassador to Germany during the rise of Hitler. OUCH! The similarities are depressing. My only complaint was his CONSTANT use of foreshadowing on just about every topic under the sun.....
