This book stunned me. I chose to read it because I want to read all the Pulitzer Fiction award winners and this book was next in line. Initially, I enjoyed the book for the quality of writing, yet I wondered what the book was actually about. Slowly, it's development began to move forward slowly revealing it's topic in much the way as landscape becomes more and more clear in the early hours of dawn, sharpening with the light from the rising sun as all becomes bathed in light. Lanny Budd is a well-off American who has married a very rich American girl. They love one another dearly but politically are very different, which is important in the European world in which they live. Set in the time of the rise of National Socialism in Germany [read "Hitler'], we watch as Irma Budd, a devout capitalist, tries to support her husband's efforts to strengthen Socialism, but not go so far as Communism. In the book the two groups are referred to as Pink and Red, respectively. But as he watches, Lanny realizes the threat Hitler and his comrades threaten to Germany. Moreover, he is greatly concerned about his sister's husband's family who are wealthy Jews in Germany. Get out, he tells them. Oh, no, they answer, we have strong friends in government. As Lanny watches the situation in German worsen, he begs them Get out now. But they rely on their friends in the government, unaware of the trap set and ready to spring on them. But what struck me most, as I read this book, was the uncomfortable comparisons of the path "Hitlerites" took as they gained more and more power and the path the Tea Party in this country is taking. An how, in Germany, the ultimate power brokered to Hitler came from the wealthy business men and factory owners. And how, in this country, the wealthy busninssmen are pushing the same agendas in this country. To quote Lanny Budd, "They seek to create a nation of slaves." The Nazi's succeeded in changing Germany. Will the Tea Party succeed? The Germans never believed the Nazi changes could ever happen in a civilized nation. But it did. Will it happen here? It could. Because too many of us are so foolish as to believe it never could, and that is the only opening the politicians need. After all, it was the capitalists of Germany, and not the Socialists, who ultimately put Hitler in power.
