The first time I read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer, I read it to see what happened during World War II. This time I鈥檓 reading about how it happened. Hitler published 鈥Mein Kampf鈥 in the 1920s. His playbook is still being used today: lies, slander, and yelling. We didn鈥檛 learn then. Can we learn now?
