Hitler's rise to power, Germany's march to the abyss, as seen through the eyes of
Americans--diplomats, military, expats, visiting authors, Olympic athletes--who watched
horrified and up close. By tapping a rich vein of personal testimonies, Hitlerland
offers a startlingly fresh perspective on this heavily dissected era. Some of the
Americans in Weimar and then Hitler's Germany were merely casual observers, others
deliberately blind; a few were Nazi apologists. But most slowly began to understand
the horror of what was unfolding, even when they found it difficult to grasp the breadth
of the catastrophe. The most perceptive of these Americans helped their reluctant
countrymen begin to understand the nature of Nazi Germany as it ruthlessly eliminated
political opponents, instilled hatred of Jews and anyone deemed a member of an inferior
race, and readied its military and its people for a war for global domination.--From
