As my Twitter followers already know, this week I'm recommending in the Garden of Beasts,

Love, Terror, and the American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Eric Larson.

The book covers the first two years of Hitler's chancellorship as the new U.S. Ambassador,

William Dobb, arrives in Berlin.

He brings his family, which includes his young naive daughter that turns out to be a big

mistake, and witnesses the insidious transformation of German culture and law by the Nazi party.

Dobb cannot keep quiet as he sees what happens to the Jews and other Nazi undesirables.

But the State Department back in the U.S. is unmoved.

They want to hear what Dobb is doing to get Germany to pay back the $1.2 billion at

O's America.

The book climaxes with the night of the long knives, when Hitler decides to deal with

his political and personal enemies once and for all.
