This is the same author as "Devil in the White City". This is his newest book. It follows the US Ambassador to Germany and his family from when they moved to Berlin in 1933 until he leaves his post in 1937. Ambassador Dodd and his daughter both kept detailed diaries and wrote a lot of letters to friends/colleagues back in the states which makes for a lot of direct quotes and personal, detailed impressions of places and people. It's a fascinating point of view especially in regards to some of the high ranking Nazi officials.
