These are threats American journalist Sigrid Schultz knew all too well. The \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e'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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e The Dragon From Chicago\u003c\/i\u003e, Pamela D. Toler draws on extensive archival research to unearth the largely forgotten story of Schultz's years spent courageously reporting the news from Berlin, from the revolts of 1919 through the Nazi rise to power and Allied air raids over Berlin in 1941. At a time when women reporters rarely wrote front-page stories and her male colleagues saw a powerful unmarried woman as a \"freak,\" Schultz pulled back the curtain on how the Nazis misreported the news to their own people, and how they attempted to control the foreign press through bribery and threats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSharp and enlightening, Schultz's story provides a powerful example for how we can reclaim truth in an era marked by the spread of disinformation and claims of \"fake news.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePamela D.
