The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

Winner of the 1961 National Book Award, William L. Shirer's *The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich* is the definitive account of Nazi Germany. Drawing on his experience as an international correspondent in wartime Germany and unparalleled access to newly discovered Nazi documents—including Joseph Goebbels' diaries and Nuremberg Trial testimonies—Shirer delivers a chilling, authoritative, and illuminating history. This seminal work details how Adolf Hitler almost conquered the world and remains a cornerstone of Third Reich scholarship. "A monumental work." —Theodore H. White
