366X3 First Edition (Unstated. Little, Brown and Co., Boston: 1984. 654 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition but dustjacket is worn. In this second volume of Shirer's memoirs, the author provides an eyewitness and personal vision of the crucible out ow which the Nazi monster appeared. Fluent in German, married to a Viennese, Shirer had an uncanny sense of the shaping of the events and sources that enabled him to act on his intuition. He met, knew, talked to - and occasionally drank withe - Goring, Geobbels, Himmler, Hess, Heydrich, Ribbentrop, Eichmann and dozens of High Command officers. Even Hitler he observed at first hand, close enough, he noted, "to kill him." Includes an Index. "Rarely have I felt so directly and dramatically in touch with the intimate events of world history. A vivid, human document." - James MacGregor Burns ISBN: 0316787035 $9.95USD
