A review by xxstefaniereadsxx
Berlin Diary: The Journal of a Foreign Correspondent, 1934-1941 by William L. Shirer

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

 This book is referenced a lot in a book group that I am in. I have had it for a while, and in my attempt to read all the books that I own that I have not yet gotten to, I finally decided to get to this one. William Shirer was a foreign correspondent, who had the fairly unique position of reporting on the climate and events leading up to the outbreak of World War II and beyond. I appreciate his descriptive writing style and attention to detail. This book, and the second volume, are really very good and provide a lost of details about pre-war and mid-war Europe. This is a really great book for gaining perspective on the climate in Europe.
