The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich
Nazis are bad
All the wrong people seem to like it so it's probably bad.
it's old as fuck and was written by a journalist who even in the 60s was criticized for not being up on current scholarship, so it's probably meh but I'm not going to read it
Very biased. I was disappointed to find out how good of a goy Shirer is, editorializing his "history" with the intent of humiliating Hitler's memory and making a farce of the Third Reich. I've heard David Irving's material is much more objective but unfortunately it's difficult to get a personal copy of his work.
the butthurt this book gets is the same butthurt howard zinn's people US history gets. they don't take a centrist approach to history by not saying the nazis or capitalist class are objectively the bad guys. unless you're a liberal or centrist, you won't have a problem with it OP
>the intent of humiliating Hitler's memory and making a farce of the Third Reich.
They did that themselves.
>HITLER BAD
holy FUCK someone get this man an award already, utterly groundbreaking take
>. I've heard David Irving's material is much more objective
Where did you hear that? Irving's considered a nutter by essiently all historians today on National Socialist Germany.
typical nihilistic edgelord neo-nazi thinking the more unpopular a take is the better
