SynopsisThe fiftieth anniversary edition of the National Book Award-winning bestseller that is the definitive study of Adolf Hitler, the rise of Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and World War II. This special edition now features a new introduction by Ron Rosenbaum, author of Explaining Hitler and How the End Begins . No other powerful empire ever bequeathed such mountains of evidence about its birth and destruction as the Third Reich. When the bitter war was over, and before the Nazis could destroy their files, the Allied demand for unconditional surrender produced an almost hour-by-hour record of the nightmare empire built by Adolph Hitler. This record included the testimony of Nazi leaders and of concentration camp inmates, the diaries of officials, transcripts of secret conferences, army orders, private letters--all the vast paperwork behind Hitler's drive to conquer the world. The famed foreign correspondent and historian William L. Shirer, who had watched and reported on the Nazis since 1925, spent five and a half years sifting through this massive documentation. The result is a monumental study that has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of one of the most frightening chapters in the history of mankind. Here is the complete story of Hitler's empire, one of the most important stories ever told, written by one of the men best equipped to write it.

  • History we should not soon forget

    This book is large but worth every written word. The history of how we got to WWII and Hitler's war machine, are stories we should never forget. How it started, how people reacted to what they saw/heard, and the aftermath. The horrific details will never leave you. The deaths perpetrated at the hands of one man for a fancy of his ego. We can hope the world never sees such atrocities again. Yet the world continues to see it time and time again, just not on the same scale. We need to stand up to men who will kill their fellow man for no good reason. Never again.
