Взлет и падение Третьего рейха. В 2 томах

"The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" is the best that has been written on this topic. And the point is not only that the author was both a historian and an eyewitness to the events described.
The advantage of the book is that the analytical mind of William Shirer forced him to look for answers that not only no one knew then, but also questions such didn’t ask.
The ideological origins of National Socialism, the historical impasse in which Germany found itself after the Treaty of Versailles, details of Hitler’s biography - all this was brought together for the first time in a single compendium and remains the most important source on the history of Nazi Germany.
U Other authors can find more details, greater emphasis on certain aspects, but no one has recreated the overall picture better than Shearer.

The first volume reflects the events of 1923-1939.

Based on extensive materials, memoirs and diaries of diplomats, politicians, generals, people from Hitler’s entourage, as well as personal memories, the author, a famous American historian and journalist, talks about many events related to the bloody history of German fascism.
The second volume describes the events of 1939-1945.
