This colossal work, appreciated by hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide, owes its originality to the fact that the author, who lived in Berlin from 1934 to 1940, was a direct witness: he draws his narrative from what he sees with his own eyes and records in his diary. This makes his work unique among the rich historiography on the Nazi regime, which he describes in all its facets social, political, diplomatic and military structures. William L. Shirer devoted five years to his research, combing through tons of archives confiscated by the Allies at the end of the war, and also using his notes and diary, which he had written during his stay in the German capital and which were secretly taken out of the country at the end of 1940 when he left the country to escape the Gestapo. He takes the reader on an extraordinary and terrifying journey behind the scenes of a theatre whose tragic events and insane actors almost plunged the Western world into eternal darkness. For Ian Kershaw, this book remains the gateway to this history for entire generations.
