What’s Up With the Title?

We don't know about you, but we figure that The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany is about as self-explanatory as it gets.

Just imagine if other book titles were so clear about their contents:

  • The Story of a Girl Named Katniss Everdeen, Who Plays an Iconic but Somewhat Paradoxical Role in the Downfall of a Tyrannical, Fashion-Loving Empire, by Suzanne Collins
  • The Story of a Boy Wizard Called Harry Potter, Who Plays an Iconic but also Kind of Arbitrary Role in the Death of an Evil Wizard with No Nose, by J.K. Rowling
  • A Novel in which None of the Animals Are Animals At All, but Instead Represent Social Archetypes, by George Orwell

You get the idea.
