in the Garden of Beasts
Pour a Berlin Blitz: 2 oz gin, splash of Chambord, splash of prosecco, shake with ice, strain and garnish with a twist then sink into Larson's compelling yet easy to grasp history of Ambassador William Dodd's story of his years in Berlin as Hitler stole power. Larson goes into great detail attempting to explain how Germany - and the rest of the country - let the Nazis brainwash an entire people. Would have loved the story to stay more with his fun-loving, naieve daughter Martha and her love affairs with Germans, Russians and Americans. Her story is the more flamboyant. I enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone who wants a "light" rendering of one families awakening to the horrors of Hitler.
