"Since it's publication five decades ago, William L. Shirer?s monumental study of Hitler?s empire has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of the twentieth century?s blackest hours. A worldwide bestseller with millions of copies in print, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich offers an unparalleled and thrillingly told examination of how Adolf Hitler nearly succeeded in conquering the world. Here, in a thoughtful new introduction for the fiftieth anniversary of its National Book Award win, Ron Rosenbaum, author of the much-admired Explaining Hitler, takes a fresh and penetrating look at this vital and enduring classic and the role it continues to play in today?s discussions of the history of Nazi Germany"--The publisher.

Una vez, en el lento transcurrir de los años, hubo una guerra. Pero tanto tiempo hace y tan borrada está de la memoria por otras guerras y otras clases de guerras que, acaso, hasta quienes combatieron en ella la hayan olvidado. La guerra de la que hablo tuvo lugar después de la época de Crécy y Agincourt y un poco antes del pequeño salivazo experimental de bombas atómicas en Hiroshima y Nagasaki.
Yo presencié una parte de esta guerra; la visité, puede decirse, puesto que estuve en ella en misión de corresponsal de guerra. Aunque tal vez me convenga más no recordarla demasiado. El recuerdo de cuanto en ella vieron mis ojos --emociones e imágenes no totalmente perdidas - no consigue más que sobreexcitarme todavía.

"Toby and Elinor, brother and sister, friends and confidants, are sharers of a dark secret, carried from the summer of 1912 into the battlefields of France and wartime London in 1917. When Toby is reported 'Missing, Believed Killed', another secret casts a lengthening shadow over Elinor's world: how exactly did Toby die - and why? Elinor's fellow student Kit Neville was there in the fox-hole when Toby met his fate, but has secrets of his own to keep. Enlisting the help of former lover Paul Tarrant, Elinor determines to uncover the truth. Only then can she finally close the door to Toby's room." --Publisher description.
