In June 1933, William E. Dodd, a history professor at the University of Chicago, receives an unexpected call from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who appoints him as the United States Ambassador to Germany. Dodd embarks on a journey to Berlin with his family, without understanding the magnitude of the disaster that is coming. As time passes, Dodd begins to understand what is at stake, and his daughter Martha discovers the horror behind the facade of parties and Nazi diplomats. Erik Larson makes a documented reconstruction of Berlin in 1933, where the dreams and weaknesses of each one unfold on a backdrop in which the imminence of horror in its pure state is palpable.
