83. My recommend read: "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"

by William L. Shirer.

My father served in the European theatre. He was missing from my early childhood due to his being "overseas' so I had a huge interest in that war from my earliest memory.

Thank you for your comments.

ON EDIT:

I see the Wikipedia entry for the book begins with strong criticism of it. Closer reading shows this is largely based on German criticism of Shirer's lack of perspective on pre-war German history, and on modern criticism of his negative outlook on homosexuality. No doubt there may be other problems with the book. While I regret if my recommending this monumental book offends anyone, I still maintain it stands as a most amazing and revealing account of events surrounding WWII. Perhaps it has been surpassed by some modern work that I am unfamiliar with.
