Description

An Outsider's Inside View of Hitler's Germany Editor Morrell Heald brings to light unpublished letters of a foreign correspondent who learned to operate under Hitler's dictatorship Mitchellville, MD (Release Date TBD) Louis P. Lochner, a Pulitzer Prize winning foreign correspondent, served in the Berlin Bureau of the Associated Press from 1924-42 and as Bureau Chief after 1928. Editor Morrell Heald shows how Lochner learned to operate under Hitler's dictatorship in Journalist at the Brink: Louis P. Lochner in Berlin, 1922-1942. This book sheds light on the social and diplomatic roles an able foreign correspondent played during the rise of Nazi Germany. It includes Lochner's on-the-ground observations of rising anti-Semitism and the German citizens' reaction to Kristallnacht. Journalist at the Brink contains selected and edited letters of Louis Lochner, a Milwaukee-born graduate of the University of Wisconsin, who headed the Berlin Bureau of the Associated Press during Hitler's rise to power and the outbreak of World War II. These previously unpublished letters provide the fullest description available of the life and work of an American foreign correspondent in the years leading up to and during World War II. Lochner's letters reveal not only the rich cultural and social life of pre-war Berlin, but also the behind-the-scenes nature of a journalist's work. Lochner never believed that most Germans had become anti-Semites, or that they were enthusiastic supporters of Hitler and the Nazis. Lochner's letters and the views they reveal can be seen as forerunners of the work of current war correspondents "embedded" with American armed forces overseas. Thought-provoking and informative, Journalist at the Brink gives an outsider's inside view of Hitler's Germany. Through Lochner's letters, readers feel the rising "tension accompanying his efforts to cover news, maintain journalistic objectivity, and preserve a semblance of calm family life." His family letters, from which this book is drawn, overflow with reports of Berlin's social and political life, recording the growing threats in one of the twentieth century's most dangerous trouble spots.
