Berlin Diary

Here is the first uncensored and intimate account of Germany in the Second World War. Here is the private, personal, utterly revealing journal of a great foreign correspondent, in which he tells the things he saw and experienced during the seven terrible years in which Hitler rose to power and conquered most of a continent. The publicaton of this book finally enabled millions of Americans who listened to William L. Shirer’s remarkable broadcasts from Berlin and other European cities to read the things that couldn’t be said through censored microphones. This portrait of the descent of a once-civilized nation into unspeakable barbarity still shocks today, over 70 years since its publication.
