Klaus Schmider on Hitler's war against America

Klaus Schmider's study receives a recommendation for its treatment of Hitler's declaration of war on the United States.

Question

Has Dr. Clarke read Klaus Schmider's book about Hitler declaring war on the United States?

Short answer

Yes; he recommends it, says it reinforced his assessment, and found that it made parts of the decision look even more farcical.

Notes

Clarke recommends Klaus Schmider's study of Hitler's decision to declare war on the United States. He recalls it as reinforcing his existing assessment, with some events appearing even more farcical than he had expected. The recommendation rests on that recollection, without developing the book's detailed argument.
