New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1942. Hard Back. Fair/No Dust Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 605 Pages plus 21 page index. Published June 20 1941. Blue Boards. Some light age-tanning to borders of many pages. a first-hand account of the rise of the Third Reich and its road to war, as witnessed by the American journalist William L. Shirer. Shirer, a radio reporter for CBS, covered Germany until the Nazi press censors made it impossible for him to report objectively to his listeners in the United States. Many of Shirer's German sources are disguised to protect them from retaliation by the Gestapo when the book was published. Shirer wrote in the foreword in April 1941 -- appeared to be giving me a somewhat unusual opportunity to set down from day to day a first-hand account of a Europe that was already in agony and that, as the months and years unfolded, slipped inexorably towards the abyss of war and self-destruction.
