William L. Shirer Libri

All'origine di quest'opera ormai famosa, vi è un avvenimento eccezionale: il sequestro, da parte degli Alleati, di tutti gli archivi del governo nazista, con diari privati, resoconti di colloqui, carteggi, registrazioni di conversazioni telefoniche. Questo materiale, unito alla diretta osservazione e alle deposizioni e testimonianze emerse durante il Processo di Norimberga, ha consentito una ricostruzione fedele della storia e della segreta natura dell'incubo nazista.

The uncensored and intimate account of William L Shirer's experiences in Germany during World War II.

Through these articles, translations of Hitler's speeches and his own broadcasts William Shirer shows how he tried to warn the Western world of the terrible evil that was arising in Germany. The author describes from first hand the years in which a collective madness gripped the German soul.

At the beginning of the 1930s, historian William L. Shirer was sent to India by the Chicago Tribune to cover the rise of the Independence Movement. During this time Shirer was privileged to observe Mahatma Gandhi as he launched the Civil Disobedience Campaign and to enjoy his personal friendship and confidence. In this fascinating memoir, Shirer writes perceptively and unforgettably about Gandhi's frailties as well as his accomplishments. Despite his greatness, Gandhi was the first to admit that he was a human being with his own prejudices and peculiarities: he could be stubborn and dictatorial, yet the magnificence of the man rose above all else. "Gandhi: A Memoir" sheds a special light on the man who left such an indelible imprint on India and the world.
