"Albert Speer is a great enigma. An unemployed, mediocre architect when Hitler came to power in 1933, he was soon designing the Third Reich's most important buildings, developing grandiose plans to turn Berlin into "Germania, capital of the world," and stage-managing the Nazi Party's Nuremberg rallies. In 1942 Hitler appointed him Armaments Minister and he quadrupled production, an astonishing achievement that kept the German Army in the field and prolonged the war.".
"Yet Speer's life was full of contradictions. The only member of the Nazi elite with whom Hitler developed more than a purely functional relationship (he has even been called "Hitler's unrequited love") Speer was always an outsider in Hitler's inner circle. He saw himself as an artist, above the crass power struggles of the roughnecks around him, but his enormous ambition made him oblivious to the crimes of anti-Semitism and the devastation of Europe.
Spared the death sentence at Nuremberg, Speer went on to rehabilitate himself in the public eye, becoming for many a symbol of German exoneration."--BOOK JACKET.
