Query: An exceptionally well written history of Nazi Germany

William Shirer was a journalist who lived in Berlin during the '30s and '40s and saw first-hand the horrors and the allure of the German Nationalist Socialist party. Based upon his own personal experiences and a large number of official German documents captured in the war, he has written _the_ history of the era. It covers the history of the Nazi party from the birth of Hitler, all the way to the bitter and shattering defeat in 1945.The writing is superb and the story he tells is both compelling and horrifying. If you must buy one book on the 3rd Reich then this is the one. A classic.
