We
are lucky enough not to be born on year early year of 19th century. We are
living in prosperity and peace, not like them who must suffered two world wars
that has crumbled the world and murdered millions of people everywhere. Back
then death and scream is a like air as it was commons everywhere. The World War
II is the most devastating war on military history as it cause more than 50
million casualties all over the world. So much death for such senseless war.
From that horrifying tragedy, i would like to know what caused the war,
especially World War II. Why it happened?. What caused it? . I found one of the
factors ,from my history book, was Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. Therefore i
found the book named The Rise and Fall of
The Third Reich by William L. Shirer and
there are many reasons why i chosen to review this book.
The Third Reich |
First
of all, the writer itself was a former servant for Nazi thus certainly made him
saw personally of how terrifying the war is and what can a small party like
Nazi and small country like German could tremble the world terrorizing
Allied-Force. Not only that, the writers is aiming to be netral as possible
without picking side in other words he told us the truth withouth any influnece
from anywehere. Simply remarkable work.
“Thousands years will pass but the
guilt of Germany would not be erased.”
-Hans
Frank- Hitler, an Austrian who was able to convinced 65 millions of German
to fight for him, to crusade for him, convinced them with glory of Aryan Race,
convinced them that Hitler is the High Leader of German and must be saluted Sieg Heil!, Heil Hitler! Heil Mein Fuhrer!. Despite
all of his sins towards the world, i must admint this man is an amazing leader
to have such influence and charimsa since Napoleon Bonaparte.
This
books tells it all about Hitler, from his youth, rise, and fall. Back then
Hitler was a painter who is forced to go in war inWorld War II. A Painter
turned into a dicator and amazing leader?. What a twist. This book also stated
on how Hitler hated the jews and blames them as the root of every German’s
problems. This books tells it all about Hitler, from his youth, rise, and fall.
Not
only that, this book also tells the war campaign of Nazi, from invading Poland,
failing invasion on Uni Soviet, and Hitler’s last day on his bunker. All of
them explicitely written and answer the question of “Why Hitler did this?.”
Overall,
The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich is
an interesting historical book i have chosen to read as it provide many
information about Hitler, Nazi, and World War II specifically.
