No other powerful empire ever bequeathed such mountains of 
evidence about its birth and destruction as the Third Reich. When the 
bitter war was over, and before the Nazis could destroy their files, the
 Allied demand for unconditional surrender produced an almost 
hour-by-hour record of the nightmare empire built by Adolph Hitler. This
 record included the testimony of Nazi leaders and of concentration camp
 inmates, the diaries of officials, transcripts of secret conferences, 
army orders, private letters—all the vast paperwork behind Hitler's 
drive to conquer the world. The famed foreign correspondent and 
historian William L. Shirer, who had watched and reported on the Nazis 
since 1925, spent five and a half years sifting through this massive 
documentation. The result is a monumental study that has been widely 
acclaimed as the definitive record of one of the most frightening 
chapters in the history of mankind. Here is the complete story 
of Hitler's empire, one of the most important stories ever told, written
 by one of the men best equipped to write it. This worldwide bestseller has been acclaimed as the definitive book on Nazi Germany; it is a classic work.
