Erik Larson: Meet the Author
b'Sometimes the best way to tell a story about something vast and far reaching is to focus instead on the microcosm. And so it goes with Erik Larson\\u2019s "In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler\'s Berlin." A book of nonfiction that resembles good fiction, Larson\\u2019s latest work looks at Berlin in the 1930s and explores why the world didn\\u2019t recognize the Nazi threat until too late.'
