About This Item
Fluent in German, married to a Viennese, Shirer had an uncanny sense of the shaping of events and sources that enabled him to act on his intuition. He met, knew, talked to--and occasionally drank with--Göring, Goebbels, Himmler, Hess, Heydrich, Ribbentrop, Eichmann and dozens of High Command staff officers. Even Hitler he observed at first hand, close enough, he noted, 'to kill him.' Through articles, simultaneous translations of Hitler's speeches, and his own broadcasts Shirer desperately tried to warn the Western World of this demonic scourge. To his intense frustration, while he was read and listened to, the urgency of his message was not believed.The Nightmare Years is not only a riveting, firsthand account of the events and men who set the world on fire, it is also the human story of a young American caught in these titanic vents, struggling to survive and provide a normal life for himself, his wife and infant daughter. Reading this life is--as living it must have been--fascinating, powerful, and terrifying.Shirer's tale of these harrowing and historic times is enhanced by ninety-two photographs he took or collected throughout the period.
