Description
Albert Speer's Architect: A New Biography A comprehensive re-examination of Albert Speer's life and involvement in Nazi atrocities challenges the long-held notion of his innocence. Martin Kitchen, an expert on twentieth-century Germany, presents a compelling case that Speer was far more deeply implicated in the regime's genocidal crimes than previously acknowledged. Speer's autobiography portrayed him as a cultured technocrat devoted to his country, yet this new biography reveals a darker figure who played a significant role in the Nazi war effort. Kitchen draws on valuable new sources to reconstruct Speer's life and actions during one of history's darkest periods, providing a nuanced understanding of this complex individual. This book offers a serious accounting of Speer's beliefs, actions, and legacy, countering his claims of non-culpability and challenging the misconception that his unique genius alone kept the German military armed long after defeat was inevitable.
