Description: THE DUST JACKET READS: At the Nuremberg rallies, when Hitler roared through the streets celebrating his newly won domination of Germany, William Shirer was there. In Munich, as Chamberlain abandoned the Czechs, Sirer was there. In Vienna during the night of the Anschluss, in Berlin, when Hitler loosed his Blitzkrieg on Poland-hus beginning World War II-William Shirer was there. If ever a journalist was in the right place at the right time, it was William Shirer. Initially as a newspaperman and then as one of the first overseas radio correspondents, Shirer was everywhere it mattered in the 1930s and 1940s In this,the second volume of his memoirs, the prize-winning author provides an eyewitness and intensely personal vision of the crucible out of which the Nazi monster appeared. Fluent in German, married to a Viennese, Shirer had an uncanny sense of the shaping of events and sources that enabled him to act on his intuition He met, knew, talked to-and occasionally drank with-Go"ring, Goebbels, Himmler, Hess, Heydrich, Ribbentrop, Eichmann and dozens of High Command staff officers. Even Hitler he observed at first hand, close enough, he noted,"to kill him." Through articles, simultaneous translations of Hitler;s speeches, and his own broadcasts Shirer desperately tried to warn the Western World of this demonic scourge. To his intense frustration, while he was read and listened to, the urgency of his message was not believed. The book has 654 with index and 50 pages of black and white photos. The condition of the book is VERY GOOD with some speckling on the top and bottom page edges and smudging on the side page edges. The jacket is in VERY GOOD with minor breaking on the top and bottom of spine.
