Description: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L. Shirer published by Simon and Schuster, New York, 1960. First Edition, 1st printing. Hardcover. 1245 pp. Illustrative maps on endpapers. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L. Shirer is a monumental study of the most frightening chapters in the history of mankind. The book offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. William L. Shirer spent five and a half years sifting through the vast paperwork left behind by Hitler's nightmare empire. That massive pile of documents included the testimony of Nazi leaders, the testimony of concentration camp inmates, the diaries of officials, transcripts of secret conferences, army orders, and private letters. Hailed as the definitive study of Adolf Hitler, the rise of Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and World War II, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich won the 1961 National Book Award for Nonfiction and the Carey–Thomas Award for non-fiction. In 1962, the Reader's Digest magazine serialization of the book reached some 12 million additional readers and a film adaptation was broadcast by the U.S. ABC television network in 1968, one hour a night over three nights.
