Instead it lasted only twelve. But into its short life was packed the most cataclysmic series of events that Western civilisation has ever known. William Shirer is one of the very few historians to have gained full access to the secret German archives which the Allies captured intact. He was also present at the Nuremberg trials. First published sixty years ago, Shirer’s account of the years 1933–45, when the Nazis, under the rule of their despotic leader Adolf Hitler, ruled Germany is held up as a classic of its time. Some of his views have not stood the test of time but in this book Shirer explores how the Nazis commandeered the Holocaust, one of the most shocking acts of evil in modern history, plunged the world into a second war, and changed the face of modern history and modern Europe forever. ‘One of the most important works of history of our time.’ New York Times ‘I can think of no book which I would rather put in the hands of anyone who wanted to find out what happened in Germany between 1930 and 1945, and why the history of those years should never be forgotten’ Alan Bullock Review: still a must read - still a must read Review: Never EVER Forget!!! - I'm surmising that many people would take one glance and consider this book of 1180 pages a monumental study in boredom. How wrong they would be! With the retrieval of thousands of documents after the war, Shirer has managed to incorporate samples of these in such a clever way, that these notes, letters and instructions gives the reader the feeling of actually being there, like a fly on the wall. Of course it's still an uncanny phenomenon that one man could so hypnotise an entire nation, and in so doing, encouraging a minority of them into committing the most horrendous atrocities against humanity. I must confess that reading about those atrocities in these pages, the callous attitude towards the lives of millions of people across Europe, at times beggared belief. As a fly on the wall I felt that I was actually there as the drama across a beleaguered Europe unfolded. As the countries fell endlessly under the jackboot, the impending storm must have brought great trepidation to the British people. But they didn't recognise defeat when it was staring them in the face, and virtually unarmed, they were about to confront the greatest military machine in the World's history. What did Hitler and his Generals think of the British and Churchill, of the hapless Chamberlain? It's all in this book. The messages between Hitler and his Generals, the letters between Hitler and Mussolini, the thoughts of the German conspirators on Hitler's life, it's all in this book. Those last incredible days in Berlin, with the Russians and the Allied forces thundering in, as Hitler (losing the plot by the minute) makes preparations for his suicide pact; his thoughts and final instructions, it's all in this book. It's simply compelling reading. I know I'm going over old ground when I say that this book serves as a gigantic warning; that one man, who at first was a complete non-entity, could rise to such a beacon of hope to a despondent nation, and in following that man condemned themselves to a brutal and harsh retribution. With that warning one must never disregard the possibilities when so called smaller tyrants appear on the horizon. In that regard were the actions taken against Sadam Hussein so very wrong? This book should be compulsory reading. Having read this incredible book I feel like I've almost lived through it all, as ridiculous as that sounds. I still shudder when I consider the plight of those millions that perished in the death camps, and the sheer terror of those final moments once they became aware of their fate. Never forget. ## Features - Item Trademark: ARROW BOOKS LTD - manufacturer: Arrow Books Ltd - Item Weight: grams, pounds, 1.1023113100000, 500.00 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,197 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #171 in Military History #197 in History of Europe #9,818 in Textbooks & Study Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 700 Reviews | ## Images ![Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OfSW49oIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ still a must read *by I***H on 24 March 2026* still a must read ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never EVER Forget!!! *by M***T on 14 February 2014* I'm surmising that many people would take one glance and consider this book of 1180 pages a monumental study in boredom.

Drawing on firsthand experience as a journalist in Berlin during Hitler’s rise, along with Nazi documents and post-war trials, Shirer delivers a gripping, deeply researched narrative. The book excels in its storytelling and accessible prose, making complex political and military developments understandable for general readers. While some scholars criticize it for a somewhat dated perspective and occasional bias, it remains a classic and influential chronicle of one of history’s darkest regimes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich - THE SECOND WORLD WAR - The Guns of August --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/253585545-rise-and-fall-of-the-third-reich](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/253585545-rise-and-fall-of-the-third-reich) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-11-07*
