He wonders what he would have done in her place if he had known his father was an evil man leading the world into a war that was destroying millions of lives.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the 'New Germany,' she has one affair after another, including with the suprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. Dodd watches with alarm as Jews are attacked, the press is censored, and drafts of frightening new laws begin to circulate. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance - and ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder reveals Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition.

Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
READ ALL ABOUT HOW ADOLF HITLER ALMOST CONQUERED THE WORLD THROUGH A LITTLE GIRL. When little Thomasina Ware visits him as a red-haired, fair-cheeked baby, Adolf Hitler puts in effect his master plan to take the ideal Aryan baby girl and remake her as his own, raising her to think like him, sound like him, and look like him as much as a girl can. He hires a spy to steal the baby away from her parents when they aren't looking and deliver her to Hitler's mountain retreat. He tells Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain that she's just visiting. The Prime Minister thinks it's charming so her real parents back in England can't protest. The farce goes on and on and when the Second World War starts it's too late to get her back. But Major General Ware, the child's father, vows to free his daughter or else. Second only to defeating Germany, it becomes his most important goal. "Best historical novel I've read in years. I learned a lot about the Third Reich that I never suspected. Three cheers for the Cargills!"-Mary Ann Hanee, writer. "I've been in on this novel from its inception. It's so exciting that it's getting published. It deserves it. I can't wait to buy a copy. I'll be first in line. So will my friends."-Maren Moorgan, writer. "Keeps your interest all the way to the end. I want to read the sequel. Please write one."-Barbara Pickwick, writer. "I've read everything I could find on Adolf Hitler. I'm a World War II nut. I've even been on a Band of Brothers tour for D-Day. But the picture of Hitler in "Hitler's Daughter" is really unique. Instead of being a two-dimensional villian, the authors really explore his motives for kidnapping the little girl."-Fritz Bogen, history teacher. "My mother was a war bride. My father was in the U.S. Air Force. I was born in England, though I've never been back there since. "Hitler's Daughter" sounds like my parents talking about the war, about the Blitz. It all comes back again."-Michelle Hagen, Petco staff. "For the past several years I've been doing a blitz of Germany, Austria, and France because of my new boyfriend who lives in Germany. I took "Hitler's Daughter" with me. It helped me understand Nuremberg and the Obersalzberg where the Berghof was located. I could imagine Hitler addressing the mobs on Party Day in the 1930s."-Jean Hansom, Safeway staff.
