In 1932 Mr. Shirer was fired

a year with his new wife
Theresa, at a small fishing
village in Spain, where they
shared a house with Segovia,
the famous guitarist.
The next year found him

United Nations in San Fran
cisco. He went back to Berlin
in 1948 to cover the airlift and
two years later made a pro

National Book Award win
ner. It reached the phenomen
al sales total of more than
million copies in a year.
The author spent five and a
half years sifting through the
mountains of captured Germ
an documents. From this mas-
ive testimony and out of his
own on-the-spot reporting of
Germany and Europe for four
lecades, he has written what
well may be the definitive his
tory of one of the greatest
and most frightful chapters of
man’s history.
Among the honors William
Shirer holds in recognition of
his work are: The George Fos
ter Peabody Award, The Wen-
