''The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany'' is a non-fiction book by William L. Shirer chronicling the rise and fall of Nazi Germany from the 1920s to 1945. It was first published in 1960, by Simon & Schuster in the United States, where it won a National Book Award.〔 It was a bestseller in both the U.S. and Europe, and a critical success outside Germany, where harsh criticism stimulated sales. Academic historians were generally critical. ''Rise and Fall'' is based upon captured Nazi documents, the available diaries of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, General Franz Halder, and of the Italian Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano, evidence and testimony from the Nuremberg trials, British Foreign Office reports, and the author's recollection of six years reporting on Nazi Germany for newspapers, the United Press International (UPI), and CBS Radio —terminated by Nazi Party censorship in 1940.〔Evans 2004, p. xvi.〕 ==Content and themes==
''The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich'' is a comprehensive historical interpretation of the Nazi era, positing that German history logically proceeded from Martin Luther to Adolf Hitler;〔Rosenfeld 1994, p. 102.〕〔"The notion that 'rectitude and authenticity () integrally German attributes, in contrast to Roman or Latin influences which were degrading' held to have originated with Luther developed with German Romanticism in the 19th Century, and culminated with National Socialism." Johnson 2001.〕 that Hitler’s ascension to power was an expression of German national character, not of totalitarianism as an ideology that was internationally fashionable in the 1930s.〔Shirer p. 236.〕〔Rosenfeld 1994, pp. 101–02.〕〔Evans 2004, p. xxiv.〕 Author William L. Shirer summarised his perspective: "...the course of German history... made blind obedience to temporal rulers the highest virtue of Germanic man, and put a premium on servility."〔Shirer, p. 1080.〕 This reportorial perspective, the ''Sonderweg'' interpretation of German history (special path or unique course) was then common in American scholarship. Yet, despite extensive footnotes and references, some academic critics consider its interpretation of Nazism flawed.〔Rosenfeld 1994, p. 106.〕 The book also includes (identified) speculation, such as the theory that SS Chief Heinrich Müller afterward joined the NKVD of the USSR.
