Lothrop Stoddard: Into the Darkness. An Uncensored Report from Inside of the Third Reich at War An Objective Reporter in Nazi Germany. There are many accounts of the Third Reich -- a few favorable, many more hostile -- by foreign journalists, but Into the Darkness is one of a kind. North American Newspaper Alliance reporter Lothrop Stoddard visited Germany in the fall of 1939, soon after Germany had gone to war with Poland, England, and France. After traveling widely in blacked-out Germany, talking to Germans from Hitler and Himmler to taxi drivers and chambermaids, Stoddard returned to America to write this unique report on the Third Reich as it actually was, not as its admirers or its detractors might have wished it. Stoddard's gimlet-eyed Yankee objectivity, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the country and keen sympathy for its people, make Into the Darkness a classic account of National Socialist Germany. Lothrop Stoddard was that rare combination, a scholar and a journalist. His Harvard doctoral thesis on Haiti's bloody slave revolt, published in 1914 as The French Revolution in San Domingo, signaled Stoddard's lifelong preoccupation with race and racial conflict. His bestselling Rising Tide of Color (1920) was influential in the reform of America?s immigration law. Half a century after Stoddard's death in comparative obscurity in Washington, D.C., his prolific writings on the Western world's racial and political problems retain their relevance and their urgency. |
