I was down a bookstore again today, reading some of their German history stuff.
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is about 1,200 pages long, and the print size isn't even that big. I've read some it, but wtf @ the thought of reading the whole thing. Lots of little bits of information in there, very detailed stuff. I think that maybe the book lacks perspective, though, because it was released in the 1960s, only 15 or 20 years after the fall of the Third Reich, and historically speaking, I don't think that's long enough to really understand a huge thing...plus, the author wouldn't have been able to see as many of the consequences of the Nazi Era as someone writing such a non-fiction book in the last 10 years. The rise of the alt-right in Europe and North America, for example.
I've read it, it's quite good with very detailed information. It's been updated with new editions multiple times (like most historical texts) as new information is discovered. ---
