Here's the entire, incredible WaPo article, based on dozens of interviews with insiders. (Reprinted in SF Chron, with no paywall). https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/For-Trump-20-days-of-fantasy-and-failure-15760508.php

Just finished reading "In the Garden of Beasts" and it's pretty uncanny how things can snowball into authoritarian rule unless the other parts of democracy - citizens, legislators, courts, military - stand up to it.
That's a good book. Great idea to document Germany's descent from the point of view of an American family in Berlin. Too much time spent on the stupid daughter though. I mean, I get what the author was going for but it's just like: we now interrupt this detailed portrait of the Third Reich seizing control for what you've all really been waiting for... a goofy after-school special about an American floozy!
The daughter pissed me off for the entire book. "Do I bang the Nazi? Do I bang the KGB? Do I bang the other Nazi? Do I bang my husband back in the US? Do I bang my other boyfriend back in the US? Why not just bang them all!?!?" Pissed me off more once I learned what she did at the end and beyond. I'm glad she had to live out her life in exile.
