Is Rise and Fall of the Third Reich considered outdated? I read

It was pretty outdated by the time Shirer published it in the 1960's. I'd personally recommend Richard Evan's third reich trilogy.

the board game of this book is pretty good.

If it were published today the author would be thrown in prison for homophobic hate speech for his discussion of the sexual orientation of various Nazis so I suppose it is outdated in a sense.

I wouldn't call Rise and Fall a historical book due to it being written by a journalist. Its historical perspective is seriously sub par and Shirer goes out of the way to place blame on some allies who had no other choice at the time in some sort of attempt to make democracies vow a WWIII would never happen. It is superb for accounting events and the German rational behind them however.

Yeah, this is why I read it, along with getting the perspective of someone who lived there not long after the war ended. Very interesting perspectives, very thoroughly researched documents and testimonies. He does go off on a tangent sometimes, and has that journalist streak to make things a little dramatic (I think he something around 50 "final blows" or "fatal decisions" of the third Reich), buts a good book overall.
