This book was on the family bookshelf before I was born, and I can't remember how old I was when I first read it--possibly under twelve. So it was certainly one of my formative introductions to the story of Nazi Germany. Shirer experienced the Third Reich first hand as a reporter posted to Berlin--h...
I've been off and on reading this for over 2 years now. It's interesting but kind of boring and whenever any fiction comes along this gets pushed to the backburner

Audiobook. I'm very glad I listened to this book instead of reading it. It is very long, and all of the German names would have been difficult to handle myself.

No matter how many times I encounter Hitler's ascendency, I still cannot help but ask - 'how could it have happened'. These events, regardless of which author you prefer to tell them, are the scariest of Hallowe'en fodder. Taking a break now for some fun, the first of 7 x 8 hour audio tracks is enou...
The book will hit you at a visceral level and be prepared to listen to it beyond your normal listening routine. It's not a history of the war. The war is treated as a background character to the machinations of the political intrigue that transpired.The book is a series of stories with a narrative t...
I started this book a long while back around the time I bought it from the now defunct Borders Books. I've thus decided to pick up where I left off.
