Is it possible to understand in advance, what blood and sacrifices will end the policy of the next statesman? The example of Hitler shows that few people have the gift of foresight, but the cost of error can be excessively high.The author has studied dozens of memoirs of his compatriots, intelligent and talented people who lived in Germany or visited the country in the thirties of the last century: American diplomats, military, journalists, writers, artists, athletes, businessmen, tourists.In relative safety they watched the arrival of Hitler as the leader of the Reich without alternative. They saw the violence of the "party in power" against political opponents; the repression of national minorities, homosexuals, social democrats, and anyone else who did not keep pace with the totalitarian state that was gushing with the juice of hatred.Some of these bystanders did not consider the horrors of war and the Holocaust that would result from Nazi populism. Others deliberately turned a blind eye to the "excesses" because they liked the new energetic and enthusiastic Germany. But even those who were critical of Hitler were able to realize the true extent of the disaster when it was too late to change anything. However, they tried...The author himself partially repeated the fate of these people: as an unreliable correspondent of the world's leading media outlet (Newsweek) he was expelled from the USSR during the period of "tightening the screws" and the Soviet troops' deployment to Afghanistan. Thanks to Nagorski, the living voices of Americans who witnessed the rise of the Nazi regime are heard in the book.
