"This is an interesting look, through the eyes of Albert Speer--Hitler's architect, at the very beginning of Nazi Germany. Speer was convicted of complicity in committing warcrimes, and crimes against humanity, during the Nuremburg Trials. He spent 21 years in Spandau Prison, next door to Rudolf Hess, Hitler's Deputy Fuhrer (who died in prison).
Speer was one of the only Nazis to admit his culpability in the crimes that were committed during the 20+ years of the Third Reich. To his dying day (in Germany) he suffered great remorse for his "sins.""
"If you are interested in the history of WW2, this book will certainly be of great value to you. We all know the time line with respect to events but the added value that this book gives is the emotional reactions and interpersonal relationships between the major players, both German and Allies. Given this knowledge, I keep asking myself "How could things have happened as they did?" It is an excellent read and reference."
"A fascinating glimpse into the mind of Hitler's architect, who would eventually be responsible for prolonging the war far beyond what anyone predicted. Written while spending most of the rest of his life in prison for war crimes, he describes how he was drawn in, what it was like working with the leaders of the Nazi regime, and their downfall. It's not surprising that he tends to paint himself as more moral than most--yet at the same time he was the only one on trial who ever admited guilt or shame for what he did...and it's for this reason, most likely, that he avoided a death sentence and was eventually released from prison. It's a worthy read."
"Read this many years ago but the subject came up in conversation. Speer almost comes across as an innocent in Hitlers insiders as he disagreed with many of things going on at the time. However, Speer was a genious in keeping the war machine operating in Germany long after it should have been destroyed. He moved factories, put them underground and hid them from view. If you are a WWII history buff and missed this one, pick it up and read it."
