hbeetleon 's review for:
I am not a huge history buff, which makes this book unique that it could capture my attention so thoroughly. Larson's "Devil In The White City" was not my favorite, but when my brother (who also recommended "Devil") recommended this book I was intrigued.
Larson provides a lens into the rise of Hitler and the start of WWII that was fresh and unique, the perspective of the American Ambassador to Germany and his daughter. Learning about the political and social structures as they were being redefined during those early years (1932-36) was captivating and fascinating. I learned so much and was entertained with intrigue and suspense along the way.
I would highly recommend this book both as a history lesson as well as a commentary on our global politics today.
