Title: Still Good After ???? Years
Review: I bought this book when it first was published, because Shirer was a highly regarded journalist/expert on Germany before and during WWII. I had such a high opinion of the book after reading it then that I bought it in the Kindle version when I saw it on the Amazon list. My Kindle says it was published in 2011, but I first read it in the 1950's or 60's. It was a thick, heavy book but easy to read and very factual.This book gives the best description I have seen of the development of Hitler's mind and the formation of his twisted ideas and the ingredients of his rise to power. It removes him from a slightly comic--and very deadly--tyrant to an almost inevitable product of the period between the wars. This book will not tell you everything about WWII, but, in my opinion, you cannot fully understand the war without reading it.
