In 1933, William E. Dodd, a professor at the University of Chicago, was named ambassador to Germany. He takes his wife, son, and daughter to Germany. He accepted the position in hopes that it would give him time to write a series of books about the history of the Old South - a dream of his. Little did he know the the political unrest that would befall on Germany. This was a fascinating book. Larson's writing makes it read like a novel including drama with Dodd's daughter, Martha, and her relationships with Nazi officers and a Russian spy; suspense, as Germany's political climate turns dangerous with the attacks on Jews and the approaching war. I recommend this book to those who enjoy reading about history, especially World War II.
