The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany by William L. Shirer

5.0

This book was easily one of the best history books I’ve ever read. It was also way more haunting than I thought possible, even given the subject. I chose to read this because I wanted to see if I could understand how such sadistic evil could have ever occurred. Although I still don’t think I’ll ever truly understand (and I probably don’t want to) the author does an excellent job of providing thorough, well researched and personal details in a way that keeps you reading in the edge of your seat.
