Contents/Summary

Summary

In 1941 CBS radio broadcaster William L. Shirer published his diary he had kept in Europe during the 1930s -- specifically those sections dealing with the collapse of the European democracies and the rise of Nazi Germany. The book was an instant success, and it became the frame of reference against which thoughtful Americans judged the rush of events in Europe.
