'Albert Speer's book is a deeply moving human document. It is also of extraordinary political and psychological interest... This book is a must for anyone interested in psychological motivation of political action and the problem of guilt and repentance. But beyond this it is so fascinatingly written that I could not out it down before I finished it.' - Erich Fromm The most honest account by any Nazi leader
Albert Speer was unique in the Third Reich. An intellectual architect, he was befriended by Hitler in 1933 and for the next 12 years they maintained one of the most powerful and extraordinary relationships in the Nazi hierarchy. In 1942 Speer was appointed Armaments Minister and became second only to Hitler himself as a power on the home front. But in 1945, Speer defied Hitler's scorched earth policy and began to plan his assassination. At Nuremberg he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
