520    Hitler's rise to power, Germany's march to the abyss, as 
       seen through the eyes of Americans--diplomats, military, 
       expats, visiting authors, Olympic athletes--who watched 
       horrified and up close. By tapping a rich vein of personal
       testimonies, Hitlerland offers a startlingly fresh 
       perspective on this heavily dissected era. Some of the 
       Americans in Weimar and then Hitler's Germany were merely 
       casual observers, others deliberately blind; a few were 
       Nazi apologists. But most slowly began to understand the 
       horror of what was unfolding, even when they found it 
       difficult to grasp the breadth of the catastrophe. The 
       most perceptive of these Americans helped their reluctant 
       countrymen begin to understand the nature of Nazi Germany 
       as it ruthlessly eliminated political opponents, instilled
       hatred of Jews and anyone deemed a member of an inferior 
       race, and readied its military and its people for a war 
       for global domination.--From publisher description.
