Sweeping from Hitler's early days to the ashes of Berlin, this monumental study offers an unparalleled account of the Nazi regime's relentless march to conquer Europe. As the Führer tightens his grip on Germany, his lust for power and conquest threatens to plunge the world into darkness. At its core, this is the story of how one man's thirst for domination nearly succeeded in remaking the map of the continent. Shirer's masterful, thrillingly told tale remains an essential chronicle of the 20th century's blackest hours.
