Swingtime for Hitler
“Swingtime for Hitler is strange and subversive, a story that makes us sway and then hate ourselves for swaying. If you think present day politics is at the apex of weirdness, you’re wrong—history has us beat, as proven by this toe tapping treasure. No one delivers audio (and Nazis) with as much smooth style as Scott Simon.”
– Ann Patchett, bestselling author Tom Lake, Bel Canto, The Dutch House
“What happens when you combine masterful storytelling, incredible music and a voice that you can't stop listening to? Check out [Scott Simon’s] audiobook ‘Swingtime for Hitler.’”
– Ken Burns
