Assignment to Berlin, first published in 1942, is the account of Harry Flannery, who, in late 1940 replaced William Shirer as the CBS Radio News correspondent in Germany (Shirer was forced to leave the country due to his growing criticism of the Nazi regime). In contrast to Shirer's focus on the 'big picture, ' Flannery's approach was to describe everyday life in Nazi Germany during this momentous period, while at the same time conducting radio interviews with Nazi leaders, flying aces, ground commanders, civilians, and interned celebrities such as British author P. G. Wodehouse. Based in Berlin, Flannery also describes his travels to France, Belgium, Crete, and Switzerland in this unique, insightful look at life at the center of the Third Reich.
