I can‘t say I wasn‘t warned. The above sentence appears in the introduction. While the methodology of the surveys is important for academics and the differences in interpretation of the data by the 2 authors points to some issues, this book is not readable. And it doesn‘t offer me any ideas on how to safely resist. How anyone can make such horror so dry is beyond me. The information is good, but if you put people to sleep they won‘t absorb it.

Lcsmcat Books I found more to the point tagged in the comments. 3d
willaful A shame, because that's really interesting and important information. 3d
TheBookHippie I read it for the data. 😅 3d

repost for @ChrisBohjalian

I am deeply alarmed by the state of the U.S. Many of you are, too. So, let‘s learn about fascism — a book club, perhaps. But, if nothing else, book suggestions. Let‘s start with WHAT WE KNEW: TERROR, MASS MURDER, AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN NAZI GERMANY.

Dilara The hashtag #readingispolitical might also be of interest.
I've been reading a lot of non-fiction about fascism, nazism and authoritarianism in the last couple of years, but not in English and not necessarily of direct interest to US readers, so I'll probably lurk rather than participate...

This was just ok. Though the topic was intriguing, it was just meh for me. At least that‘s one Audible book off my TBR. #DoubleSpin

My 1st Larson book, I listened to this the last couple of weeks. All about the American ambassador to Germany & his family during the 1930s. Mostly set during 1933-34 when Hitler was chancellor & gaining power. Really interesting & scary, some direct connections to our current government. Some parts were slower or not as good but overall, an important read of a time period not covered much (or at all) in school.
