Albert Speer: Conversations with Hitler's Architect Hardcover - 2007 - 1st Edition

by Joachim C. Fest


From the publisher

Albert Speer remains the most mysterious character of the leadership of the Nazi regime. He was the chief architect of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler's confidant. Speer built the "Reichskanzlei" (official offices), discovered the "Lightdome" and was finally, in 1942, named as the minister for arms. But he characterised himself as apolitical, called Hitler's hatred of Jews an anomaly, and the conspirators of the 20th July placed Speer's name on their cabinet list.

  • Here at last are the memoirs of the mysterious Albert Speer, the "good Nazi"
  • Joachim Fest's records of conversations with Speer provide a fascinating insight into the psyche of Hitler's architect
  • This book is a vital contribution towards the understanding of the psychology of the national socialist leadership
  • Fest has created a volume that provides a unique portrait of a member of the Nazi party until now clouded in mystery

From the rear cover

Albert Speer remains the most mysterious character of the leadership of the Nazi regime. He was the chief architect of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler's confidant. Speer built the "Reichskanzlei" (official offices), discovered the "Lightdome" and was finally, in 1942, named as the minister for arms. But he characterised himself as apolitical, called Hitler's hatred of Jews an anomaly, and the conspirators of the 20th July placed Speer's name on their cabinet list.

Joachim Fest helped Albert Speer to draft his "memoirs" and the Spandau diaries. Between 1966 and 1981 they conducted numerous detailed conversations whose content (and at times exact wording) Joachim Fest recorded in writing after the event. The records captured in this manner are now published for the first time in this book and they provide a unique portrait of Albert Speer - of the man, his thinking and his role in the Nazi regime. They are an important contribution to understanding the psychology of the national socialist leadership and at the same time a significant document of history.
