This is Berlin: Radio Broadcasts from Nazi Germany

This is Berlin: Radio Broadcasts from Nazi Germany by Shirer, William. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781585672790.

William Shirer, the acclaimed journalist whose The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich quickly became, and still remains, the standard work on Nazi Germany, was a masterful chronicler of the events in Europe that led up to World War II. "This is Berlin" gathers together two-and-a-half years worth of his daily CBS radio broadcasts that described the menacing steps Germany took toward World War II, just as America and the world heard them. Here is a vivid, compelling, and urgent narrative, one of the great first-hand documents of the Second World War. An introduction by noted historian John Keegan and a preface by Shirers daughter, Inga Shirer Dean, put Shirers life and work into context. "It would be almost impossible to overstate the importance of William L. Shirers broadcasts from Germany . . . Mr. Shirers descriptions . . . read as well as they were heard 60 years ago." (Dallas Morning News) "Shirers broadcasts . . . are models of eloquence and subterfuge . . . any reader will find it hard to put down." (Publishers Weekly, starred review) "His broadcasts . . . have an enduring freshness." (Sunday Times)
