The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich - William Shirer [Book Discussion and Deep Dive]

[@marcevan1141]

This was an excellent podcast. Your commentary is always intelligent and perceptive, and this particular review was enormously rewarding.

Thanks for such a valuable review! The book has been on my radar, though the length is, as you pointed out, quite intimidating. It was a really nice touch to introduce a different style when describing the realpolitik position(s). Both funny and helpful! I am surprised by the author’s attitude on Mussolini and his views regarding the Germany’s history and Luther.

I also recently finished The Rise and Fall (about a month ago). I'm about halfway through your video. Already, this is a phenomenal review!

Thanks Ruben, I really appreciate it! (Not sure how many of my regular viewers will be in for this long discussion, but I was hoping at least for some of the history enthusiasts out there this will be a good one, so thanks for commenting 😃). I saw you mentioned this one in one of your recent videos about books you've been reading lately -- wasn't sure if you'd finished it yet. I enjoyed your discussion there of how the author is clearly biased, but if recognized and kept in mind, this is something that makes the book uniquely valuable.

I was way too young when read this book. It gave me nightmares for years
