Erik Larson's In the Garden of Beasts is a description of the efforts of the US Ambassador to Germany from 1934 until 1939. It gives you an inside glimpse of the problems of diplomacy, especially American, British, French, Soviet and paradoxically, German, as they tried to confront a gathering evil but could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.
