5 out of 5 stars Lyn's Review

Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich Well written, historically accurate, and provides key insight into one of the darkest periods of modern history.

5 out of 5 stars Valkyrie

The research that pulled this book together was presented in a concise chronological sequence that many things I did not understand about Hitler's Germany now make sense.

Even the movie Valkyrie and the chapters about Valkyrie in the book coincided. The book was more in depth. When I hit this part of the book I could not put it down until the end.

Another movie that readers of this book might find interesting is titled "Downfall." It is a German movie with English subtitles that shows the last few days of Hitler in The Bunker. Here again the movie and the book both coincide and it is dramatic.

Hitler was a "nut" with a force of conviction that held the whole house of cards together by sheer willpower.

1 out of 5 stars The German Resistance to Hitler is woefully mischaracterized

The characterization of the German Resistance to Hitler in Shirer's book is embarrassingly uninformed, sticking to the myth that it was little more than a military plot devised by ambitious officers who simply objected to Hitler's military strategy.

Anyone interested in the true story and/or in the non-military participants in the Resistance -- completely ignored by Shirer and other Anglo-American historians -- should read Peter Hoffmann's "The History of the German Resistance, 1933-1945."

4 out of 5 stars Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

Received as a gift. Very well written. Great detail and insights into Hitler and the horror of his thinking.
