Is William Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" worth a read?

by boab_129

I have heard mixed things regarding the accuracy of this book, and that it omits certain details. Does this book inaccurately portray the history of Nazi Germany?

Define 'inaccurate'. More can be said on the matter, as always, so if anyone would like to put their oar in on the shortcomings of Shirer's book, you're more than welcome to do so! For the meantime, OP, you may be interested in u/kieslowskifan's critique of Shirer's book, and this later expansion on same.
