The grammar, the organization, the presentation, the jumping from one unrelated topic to another, the introduction of characters ...

G?rtemaker paints a portrait of Hitler and Braun’s life together with unnerving quotidian detail—Braun chose the movies screened at their mountaintop retreat (propaganda, of course); he dreamed of retiring ...
