The journal of a foreign correspondent, 1934-1941. Here is the first uncensored and intimate account of Germany in the Second World War. Here is the private, personal, utterly revealing journal of a great foreign correspondent, in which he tells the things he saw and experienced during the seven terrible years in which Hitler rose to power and conquered most of a continent. Now, at last, millions of Americans who listened ot William L. Shirer's remarkable broadcasts from Berlin and other European cities can read the things that couldn't be said through censored microphones.

A facinating read for me in that I grew up in Berlin at this time and remember the times after this diary stops. It really shows how the Teutonic mythology drove Hitler, His group and allowed the German people to follow this "adventure". Makes me wonder about the Mythology of GW Bush of the rise of the "Christian Pioneers/cowboys and how their experience is his guiding light and that of those who follow him no matter what. This is a hardcopy book.
