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' on 'Goodreads'

Interesting material, but I don't know if the narrative treatment Larson gave it was a good fit. A wider perspective might have worked better. Martha was not a very sympathetic character.
