Eric Larson, a renowned journalist and author of several bestselling novels, offers the reader to immerse himself in the atmosphere of Berlin in the 1930s, a critical period in Germany's modern history, from Hitler's appointment as Chancellor to his usurpation of power and transformation of the country into a "garden of monsters" - a dictatorship actively preparing for war. During this period, the U.S. maintained a non-interventionist stance and preferred to ignore militarization, persecution of dissenters, and signs of future terror. The book's main characters are William Dodd, appointed U.S. ambassador to Berlin in 1933, and his daughter, a socialite who initially admired Hitler's regime. The plot is based on official documents, memoirs, diaries and letters that allow us to learn about the fate of the main characters: diplomats, public figures, journalists, representatives of the Nazi top brass and ordinary people. Together with the ambassador and his family, the reader goes from rejection of reality to the realization of the evil of the Nazi regime, and then to desperate but unsuccessful attempts to warn the world of the impending danger.
