   Why did Shirer want to challenge Hitler's 'Hitler-centric' point of view?

   • It was a bold decision: He wanted to challenge the “Hitler-centric” point of view of previous treatments of the war.

   Nothing is new; in Shirer’s account Hitler is still a vile man and his henchmen still do vile things. Why then, you might justifiably wonder, is this colossal book so important? The answer is simple. Shirer’s masterpiece is uncommonly well-written, a condition that promotes accessibility.
