vi, 605 pp, xxi. "Berlin Diary (1934-1941) is a first-hand account of the rise of the Third Reich and its road to war, as witnessed by the American journalist William L. Shirer. Sh irer, a radio reporter for CBS, covered Germany for several years until the Nazi press censors made it impossible for him to report objectively to his listeners in the United States; feeling increasingly uncomfortable, he finally left the country. Many of Shirer's German sources are disguised to protect them from retaliation by the Gestapo when the book was published. The contents of this book provided much of the material for his next book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich - a definitive guide to Nazi Germany." -- Wikipedia Show more
