Pamela D. Toler discusses her new book The Dragon from Chicago: The Untold Story of an American Reporter in Nazi Germany.
The book chronicles the story of Sigrid Schultz, the Chicago Tribune's Berlin bureau chief and primary foreign correspondent for Central Europe from 1925 to January 1941. Schultz witnessed Hitler’s rise to power and was one of the first reporters—male or female—to warn American readers of the growing dangers of Nazism. Drawing on extensive archival research to uncover this largely forgotten story in women's history, Toler reveals how Schultz pulled back the curtain on how the Nazis misreported the news to their own people – and today, how we might reclaim truth in an era marked by the spread of disinformation and claims of “fake news.”
