The Long Night: On William L. Shirer and the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

William L. Shirer’s first-hand reporting on the rise of the Nazis and World War II brought the devastation alive for millions of Americans.

Forced to flee, he returned to Germany in 1946 to cover the Nuremberg trials. It was that experience that inspired him to write what would become the definitive history and best-selling classic The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Drawing on never-before-seen journals and letters, award-winning reporter Steve Wick brings to life the maverick journalist as he watched history unfold and first shared it with the world.
