ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“In the Garden of Beasts” by Erik Larson tells the story of William E. Dodd, the U.S. Ambassador to Nazi Germany in the early 1930s, and his family’s experience in Berlin as Adolf Hitler rises to power. The book explores the complexities of diplomacy in a totalitarian regime, as Dodd navigates his role amid growing violence, fear, and moral dilemmas. Through personal accounts, especially from Dodd's daughter, Martha, Larson reveals the chilling reality of life under Nazi rule, examining themes of power, morality, and the struggle between political duty and personal conscience in the face of oppression.
