This is a can't-put-it-down book from start to finish, for hundreds and hundreds of pages. I would have preferred the original spelling (with umlauts) to the anglicized names.

This is a definitive history of the Nazi party. Their rise to power through the political maneuverings, deceit, and violence of Hitler, all the way to his fall as a megalomaniac.
The most interesting part to me was the political maneuverings and risk Hitler took as he came to power and the world stood by, either scared of another World War or too trusting. As well as how close Hitler was to assassination.
The history is an interesting perspective because it is written by an American journalist who reported from Germany pre-war as well as from the German front during the first year of World War 2. He also covered the Nuremburg Trials.
Due to its subject matter and length, there are dry points but there are so many details that are fascinating as you see a million little pieces come together that created Nazi Germany.

Wow. What a novel. I really enjoyed the "factual" side of how the third Reich was conceived and developed. I am amazed at the amount of research from the secret documents to develop this novel. It's amazing to me how few people questioned the direction hurled was taking his country or should I say Germany. Hitler's county was Austria. He was such a liar and deceiver all why claiming he was a Christian. I had no idea hitler and negotiated peace treaties before invasions. That part amazed me. I can't figure out what took USA so long to get in to the war.
