Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power

Can you predict the consequences of a statesman’s politics? Many watched Hitler’s rise, but few understood what catastrophe his regime would bring. The author studied the memoirs of Americans who were in Germany in the 1930s and created an engaging story about that time. He himself experienced a similar fate when he was expelled from the USSR. The book is a mosaic of testimonies about the rise of the Nazi state and serves as a reminder of how easy it is to be mistaken in one’s judgments.
