SINCE ITS PUBLICATION FIVE DECADES AGO, William L. Shirer’s monumental study of Hitler’s empire has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of the twentieth century’s blackest hours. A worldwide bestseller with millions of copies in print, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. Here, in a thoughtful new introduction for the fiftieth anniversary of its National Book Award win, Ron Rosenbaum, author of the much-admired Explaining Hitler, takes a fresh and penetrating look at this vital and enduring classic and the role it continues to play in today’s discussions of the history of Nazi Germany.
第三帝国的兴亡》是全世界最畅销的反映纳粹德国历史的巨著。它精彩绝伦地记述了被希特勒称为“千秋帝国”(即第三帝国)从兴起到覆灭的全部过程。在短短的12年零4个月中，不可一世的第三帝国在人类历史上制造了惨绝人寰的灾难，留下了一段惊心动魄的历史。随着崩溃的迅速到来，人们缴获了大量秘密文件，私人日记、发言记录以及纳粹党领导人的电话录音！于是，一个独裁政权的全部秘密和罪恶活动就在它覆灭的同时全部公之于世了。这就是《第三帝国的兴亡》大量的、真实的资料来源。

极好的书，还原历史
偏贵了，很好的史书
很难啃呀~
包装安全，然后再买本字典慢慢看了，我怀疑那12块邮费是买空气的。。。
可以说这本书的装订非常差了
书很好，印刷太一般了
跟翻译版本对照着看，很好看的一本书。不过英文原版的没有想象中精致，很厚，封皮是那种软面的，印刷的很清楚，是否正版就无从考究了，值得推荐。
