{"product_id":"the-rise-and-fall-of-william-l-shirer-9780795300349","title":"The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler","description":"\u003cb\u003eA concise and timely account of Hitler's--and fascism's--rise to power and ultimate defeat, from one of America's most famous journalists.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e American journalist and author William L. Shirer was a correspondent for six years in Nazi Germany--and had a front-row seat to Hitler's mounting influence. His most definitive work on the subject, \u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of the Third Reich\u003c\/i\u003e, is a riveting account defined by first-person experience interviewing Hitler, watching his impassioned speeches, and living in a country transformed by war and dictatorship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shirer was originally commissioned to write \u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e for a young adult audience. This account loses none of the immediacy of\u003ci\u003e The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich\u003c\/i\u003e--capturing Hitler's ascendence from obscurity, the horror of Nazi Germany's mass killings, and the paranoia and insanity that marked the f?rer's downfall. This book is by no means simplified--and is sure to appeal to adults as well as young people with an interest in World War II history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"For nearly 100 years William L Shirer has spoken to us of fascism, Nazis, and Hitler . . . [He] tells the unvarnished truth as he experienced it . . . I figured this school-type book wasn't going to tell me anything new. But when I started reading, I realized that I wasn't reading for the facts anymore. I listened to his story and heard the urgency in his voice: a voice from nearly 60 years ago telling us the truth about today.\" --\u003ci\u003eDaily Kos\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William L.
