The UK Guardian:
":... the grandaddy of them all, the standard work by which all others on the subject are still measured. A brilliant and respected journalist, Shirer was actually there for much of the time and it shows. Erudite, comprehensive and detailed, always lively and readable, it is the model of what a popular narrative history should be. My own copy has been read and referred to so often it is falling apart."
The Shirer (he is not a Nazi, he is an historian) will show you that Trump is not Hitler, and you will be way smarter. Hitler used to storm into a beer hall with his Brownshirts and set up a machine-gun at the door, so nobody could leave. Then they announce everyone gets to hear a free speech. Did Trump do that? You guys are so historically ignorant. If Trump was really Hitler he never would have left office and then stand for election again. Dictators don't step down.
