We see post-World War I Germany and the rise of Nazism through
Seldes' eyes. He vividly recalls his talks with President General von
Hindenburg, his meeting with Hitler, the huge Nazi rallies in Nuremberg and Hitler's hypnotic spell over the people. Seldes describes the destruction of the Weimar Republic by the wealthy German capitalists who not only exploited and helped ruin the German economy, but also supported Hitler. Seldes specifies the pro-Nazi segments of the American press, particularly the
"Readers' Digest" and William Randolph Hearst, who accepted a
"bribe" to print pro-Nazi stories. Next, he relates his experiences as a reporter during the Spanish Civil War and exposes the gross censorship, distortions and lies in the press about the tragic struggle.
