cibertina reviewed In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson
Review of 'In the garden of beasts' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Larson does a great job of mining little-examined moments in history for nuggets of general wisdom and historical interest. This book, about the American ambassador to Weimar Berlin and his encounters with Hitler and the rest of the gang makes a scary and elucidating read with lots of fun anecdotes about the city. Great read to tuck in your bag for a trip to Germany.
