"Exciting and personal memoir of CBS reporter Howard K. Smith takes you to the Germany of the early Third Reich era. Enjoyable and historical reading."

The memoirs of one of America's most distinguished correspondents, Howard K. Smith. He worked as a young reporter in Berlin during Hitler's rise to power, and for the first two years of the Second World War. Finally granted a visa to leave the country- coincidentally on December 7th, 1941- he wrote everything censors had forbidden about the physical, emotional, and psychological manipulation of the German people by Hitler, Goebbels, and their lackeys. His personal experiences under difficult circumstances are extraordinary enough, but his descriptions of people forced to join the war, compulsory Nazi Youth groups, and of the German high command read like a chilling thriller.
