I will be going to Berlin in May and my companion is reading In the Garden of Beasts right now (at my insistence!) In your view, what are the must see locations that will make this story even more tangible and terrifying? (I have told many that your book is the "Boiling the Frog" experience of the Third Reich as my encouragement for them to read it.)
Erik Larson
The Tiergarten, the Reichstag building, and the Wall of Terror--an exhibit on the Gestapo, built against the remaining wall of its headquarters.

I enjoyed "In the Garden of Beasts" immensely, as I too, love American history, and intend to read all the rest of your books in the near future. My question is this: Is there any chance you may write a book about the USS Liberty and how it was attacked in 1967? I'd love to read a well researched book about that subject.

Erik Larson:
I'm a huge fan of all of your books (I finished "Dead Wake" last night), and am always amazed at the way you're able to turn tons of research into a compelling narrative that reads like a novel. Do you do all of your research first and then write, or are you writing as you're researching?
