I think today's generations dismiss the possibility of history repeating itself because Hitler was a sociopath and we would recognize that. However, Hitler didn't just appear on the scene one day...he was there for many years, weasling his way in, gaining people's trust. There is a scene in the book where Ruth goes to a Hitler rally to take photos, and the women in the audience are swooning over him...some even crying as they would have at an Elvis Presley or Beatles concert. Very scary indeed.Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-10351172051082884282013-01-28T18:34:40.887-06:002013-01-28T18:34:40.887-06:00I have In the Garden of Beasts on my dresser right...I have In the Garden of Beasts on my dresser right now. One of my good friends passed it along to me after she finished it just recently. She told me it was not a book to try and rush through, so I know I will like it. The idea that so many refused to see what Hitler really was is scary in so many ways.

England was so exhausted from WWI it about ignored everything going. France was so vindictive it bled Germany dry with reparations that inflation was out of control.<br /><br />Hitler came to power on the backs of hunger and hatred. Not everyone agreed with him but his policies of fear and spying were strong enough to keep most in line.<br /><br />It's a period of studied ignorance on the part of the US and blind ignorance on the part of many other countries.brokenteepeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907414560986208401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-48412166232438853212013-01-28T10:13:23.730-06:002013-01-28T10:13:23.730-06:00This sounds wonderful.

Another book you would like if you have not already read it is "In the Garden of Beasts", from 1933 until he leaves Germany a few years later. It tells the story of our American Embassador in Germany trying to warn us about Hitler and how many in our government squashed these warnings, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627192542637696981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-5413667729530096402013-01-28T08:07:51.497-06:002013-01-28T08:07:51.497-06:00I'm so excited to read your review!
