A native's return, 1945-1988

About this book

A NATIVE'S RETURN completes William Shirer's classic memoir, 20th Century Journey, the previous volume of which was the bestselling Nightmare Years. Having fled Berlin, and imminent arrest by the Gestapo, in 1940, Shirer returned in October 1945 to verify the facts of the Fuhrer's death, thus bringing to a close -- or so he thought -- his involvement with the Third Reich.
