   Why did John Shirer write the rise & fall of the Third Reich?

   • Shirer’s book had a visceral, nearly pornographic impact. He began writing “The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich” because he was broke; the project was grueling work. It’s this Shirer — the human being, a man of determination and steely nerve — that Mr. Wick gets onto the pages of his book.

   When did John Shirer go to Berlin?

   • Shirer went to Berlin, in 1934, for Universal Service, a news company owned by William Randolph Hearst. (“I’m going from bad to Hearst,” Shirer cracked.) He barely missed being aboard the Hindenburg — he and his wife had been offered free trips — when it crashed in flames in Lakehurst, N.J., in 1937. He began working for CBS News later that year.

   Who was William Shirer?

Shirer was a balding, mild-mannered man who smoked a pipe and loved Mozart. But this Cedar Rapids boy led nearly as dashing a life as John Reed, and wrote a book that shook the world.

   Is Shirer a good book?

   • Some academics found the book not scholarly enough, but most agreed with the journalist and historian Theodore H. White, who called it, “a monumental work, a grisly and thrilling story.” Shirer helped put Hitler and the Holocaust back on the table, in terms of discussion by average Americans.
