Summary
The famous journalist and author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich documents his front row seat at the pivotal events leading up to World War II.
In the second of a three-volume series, William L. Shirer tells the story of his own eventful life, detailing the most notable moments of his career as a journalist stationed in Germany during the rise of the Third Reich. Shirer was there while Hitler celebrated his new domination of Germany, unleashed the Blitzkrieg on Poland, and began the conflict that would come to be known as World War II. This remarkable account tells the story of an American reporter caught in a maelstrom of war and politics, desperately trying to warn Europe and the United States about the dangers to come.
This memoir gives listeners a chance to relive one of the most turbulent periods in 20th-century history - painting a stunningly intimate portrait of a dangerous decade.

Wonderfully detailed
Shirer’s writing is always so descriptive. You can see why, with Ed Murrow, he basically invented radio reporting. Grover Gardner is such a brilliant narrator, warm and poignant in his delivery.

The Truth will out
I was born 3 years after the second WW2 ended and grew up regailed by stories of the atrocities committed by the German nation and their allies. My mothers first husband had died of his wounds suffered whilst serving in the Kings Own in Italy 1945. My first job was working for an Austrian who had been a POW and later I served in a Government Dept were my senior officer was an ex member of the SS Hitler jugend division. How on earth can you equate these good men with murderous regime of Adolph Hitler. Now after listening to this brilliant book I can understand the brain washing of a nation. Listen and be warned is it happening again North Korea?
