This well-written book proves that Andrew Nagorski has thoroughly
researched the Nazi Rise to Power in the 1930s. Essentially, this story
covers the account of American correspondents prior to when Hitler
launched his attack on Poland. Hitler wiped Poland out in four short
weeks. Nagorski's account covers how Nazi officials dealt with the embassy
staff for the United States Consulate, and he shows readers 1930s
Germany from the perspective of the American Embassy staff. I found the
interviews with Hilter to be enlightening, because there were somewhat
shocking things I had never before read. Example: There was a General Motors plant in Germany
and an American was an overseer of the operation during this time! I
enjoyed this book, yet I was disturbed by eerie parallel with our
present day. For example, the media then was designed to deceive the
masses, and I perceive that our media today is likewise biased and
distorted. After reading this book, I am more convinced than ever that
history does indeed repeat itself -- and that can be a fearful thing.
