 &nbsp\;Chicago Tribune's&nbsp\;Berlin bureau chief and primary foreign cor
 respondent for Central Europe from 1925 to January 1941. Schultz witnessed
  Hitler&rsquo\;s rise to power and was one of the first reporters&mdash\;m
 ale or female&mdash\;to warn American readers of the growing dangers of Na
 zism. Drawing on extensive archival research to uncover this largely forgo
 tten story in women's history\, Toler reveals how Schultz pulled back the 
 curtain on how the Nazis misreported the news to their own people&nbsp\;&n
 dash\; and today\, how we might reclaim truth in an era marked by the spre
 ad of disinformation and claims of &ldquo\;fake news.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>In c
 onversation with noted book discussion leader Judy Levin.</p>\n<p>Books wi
