dwhatson reseñó Travellers in the Third Reich de Julia Boyd
History may not repeat itself, but human nature does.
This is the book I'd be reading right now if I was living in the United States. In fact, this is the kind of book that should be read by everyone irrespective of their address. Boyd weaves together a series of first-hand accounts of foreigners travelling in Germany as the National Socialists come to power. From the humble tourist right through to the foreign media, dignitaries and heads of state, Boyd skilfully presents evidence demonstrating how most foreigners had no real concept of unfolding events, or chose to ignore them. In some instances we meet the true sycophants just as we occasionally bump into someone made a choice to get out in time. This is a fascinating read and I highly recommended it in light of these current times
