Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany Paperback - 1990
by William L. Shirer
Reader reviews for Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany
Review summary
Reviewers regard Shirer’s history as a comprehensive, document-rich account, strengthened by his on-the-ground reporting and access to captured German archives. Many praised the clear, often compelling narrative for a work of its size and valued it as a strong one-volume overview, though its length and heavy footnoting make it demanding. Critiques focus on an emphasis on diplomacy and military strategy over sociological and genocidal analysis, occasional dryness, and dated biases—including homophobic passages. Despite these caveats, it is widely recommended for readers seeking a rigorous introduction to the Third Reich and World War II.
Readers say this book is:
