Why people recommend it
Berlin, 1933 - La presse internationale face à Hitler by Daniel Schneidermann is a book by the French media critic examining how international journalists covered the rise of Adolf Hitler and fascism in early Nazi Germany. Robert Evans recommended this work on an August 2024 episode of Behind the Bastards while discussing how liberal media coverage helped fascism succeed. Evans noted that he discovered a fascinating 2019 New Yorker interview with Schneidermann containing notable insights on activist journalism, which tied directly into the podcast episode's core historical theme. By highlighting Schneidermann's observations, Evans directed his audience toward the book as a valuable resource for understanding the failures and complicity of mainstream press outlets during a critical historical period.
