In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin

“The best non-fiction reads like a novel: gripping, fast-paced, and emotionally astonishing. In the Garden of Beasts, by one of the best and most readable historians Erik Larson, fits that bill and so much more. For WWII/Interwar Europe/Weimar Germany enthusiasts, you will simply not be able to put this one down.”

“Fascinating and scandalous, one of Erik Larson's best. If you haven't read Larson before his books are narrative non-fiction and so well written that you feel as though you are reading a novel. Also recommend The Devil in the White City and The Splendid and the Vile.”
