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

3.0

---

A very interesting book about the U.S ambassador to Germany during the 1930s as Hitler was building up his army. This was a fascinating view of Germany from an outsider, and Dodd's daughter Martha was quite the entertaining and scandalous gal to interject some drama. I found it very interesting, but I listened to the audio book, and the narrator was rather dry. I will definitely read Larson's other books, because he does such an excellent job of research and brings a personal tie to the story.
