1943 BOOK REVIE\VS 101 Unsavory Crew nUS IS THE Ei'\E~IY. By Frederick Oechsner, with the U.P. Staff. Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1942. 361 Pages; $3.00. Frederick Oechsner and four members of his United Press staff, while unwilling guests of the Nazis at Bad t\euheim after December 7, 1941, impro\'ed their time by planning this boo~. Each of the America~ newsmen ~vas a specialist in a certam field, and after reachmg the United $tates. each took an "angle" of the German picture. while ()echsner acted as Chief of Staff. In the barest of summaries, they found that the Nazis are as unsavory a lot as ever grouped together, and Hitler is their leader in both senses of the word; that their technique rJ war has been effective, but was not planned for the long pull or the Russian misadventure; that the German people are none too happy about the war but that they have become conditioned to accept conditions without complaint, or at least audible complaint; and that Nazi interference with other countries and the Nazi fifth-column work is no pape dream. All of which indicates that these five top-notch reporters' 6ndings agree with those we have learned to believe from the writings of others. However, this book is particularly well done from the standpoint of straight reporting, and roversmore ground authoritatively than most of the others Oil the same subject. Nazi Society BLOOD AND BANQUETS: A BERLIN SOCIALDIARY. By Bella Fromm. New York: Harper and Brothers, 1942. 298 Pages; Biographical Index; $3.50. \t first thought, the social diary of a woman social light aud newspaper reporter might not seem to be very impcnant reading matter, but in this case the first thought wrong. Bella Fromm was a hostess in the diplomatic and IOCiaIset of Berlin between the W orId Wars, and was in a position to observe the decline of Germany and the rise of Hitler and his cohorts from a new vantage point. There have been many books on this subject written by American newspapermen and German intellectuals, but Mrs. Fromm'sbook contains none of the conjectural economic aDd political analyses that clutter the other books. The authorsticks closely to events she actually saw and participlied in, with a very light flavoring of her personal reactions.This is a personal narrative, that covers thoroughly tile social phase and does not attempt to give a view of Ctnnany as a whole.
