pickI read this book after I read Newshawks in Berlin. Hitlerland is, of course, Nazi Germany. This book shows us a picture of the rise of Adolph Hitler as seen through the eyes of various Americans living and working in Berlin. Some thought Hitler wasn‘t dangerous and his movement wouldn‘t last, especially after he was arrested and sent to prison. Quite an informative book if history is your interest. Five stars
Think I'm going to curl up and try to finish this book finally. First snow of the season and waiting on the emergency plumber because our pipes started backing up last night! At least the snow is pretty? Still not exactly how I wanted to spend my Saturday.
Cat, how am I supposed to sit down and finish my book when you're too adorable to kick off the couch? #catsoflitsy
"(He) was, in my opinion, entirely sincere even in his self-contradictions. For his is a humorless mind that simply excludes the need for consistency that might distress more intellectual types. To an actor the truth is anything that lies in its effect: if it makes the right impression it is true."
He's talking about Hitler. This book would be fascinating if it didn't feel like I was reading about modern politics. That makes it terrifying.
