A revealing study of one of the Third Reich's most
powerful figures, Hitler's Architect and later war-time
Minister for Armaments. The book covers his involvement
with forced and concentration camp labour, his knowledge
of the "Final Solution", and his views on Hitler,
Goebbels, Goering and Himmler. The author had access to
Speer's private unpublished papers and this is an inside
view of the Third Reich and how it worked at the highest
levels. A study of Speer's battle of conscience and the
collective guilt of the German people.
