A new biography of Albert Speer, Hitler's chief architect and
trusted confidant, reveals the subject's deeper involvement in Nazi
atrocities "Kitchen, the author of a dozen works on
twentieth-century Germany, comprehensively disassembles Speer's
alibis and excuses. . . . His mastery of the revisionist evidence
against Speer is complete."-John Fund, National Review Online
"Brilliant and devastating. . . . Kitchen lays out a case so
airtight that one marvels anew how Speer survived the Nuremberg
trials with his neck intact."-Martin Filler, New York Review of
Books In his best-selling autobiography, Albert Speer, Minister of
Armaments and chief architect of Nazi Germany, repeatedly insisted
he knew nothing of the genocidal crimes of Hitler's Third Reich. In
this revealing new biography, author Martin Kitchen disputes
Speer's lifelong assertions of ignorance and innocence, portraying
a far darker figure who was deeply implicated in the appalling
crimes committed by the regime he served so well. Kitchen
reconstructs Speer's life with what we now know, including
information from valuable new sources that have come to light only
in recent years, challenging the portrait presented by earlier
biographers and by Speer himself of a cultured technocrat devoted
to his country while completely uninvolved in Nazi politics and
crimes. The result is the first truly serious accounting of the
man, his beliefs, and his actions during one of the darkest epochs
in modern history, not only countering Speer's claims of
non-culpability but also disputing the commonly held misconception
that it was his unique genius alone that kept the German military
armed and fighting long after its defeat was inevitable.
