It's a bit of history of WW2 at a personal level that one doesn't ordinarily encounter. This is my first Larson book and I find he's very engaging. The recommendation i received to look for this book was well worthwhile.

I never said it is better than expected, that is your terminology. It is a very well written account of all the terror during Hitler's rise to powder, devastating and heart rendering something everyone should know about.

I'm a fan of Eric Larson and this book explains Germany's militaristic evolution prior to WWII. It also points to the dangers of nationalism which seems to be a factor in our own times under the Trump administration.

This account of an American ambassador to Germany and his family as Hitler was moving to seize absolute power is well researched and the story is quite absorbing. It has parallels with the current U.S. political situation. It was hard to stop reading it.
