The single most thought-provoking book I have ever read and re-read. If I am ever asked to recommend a book, this is the one I suggest. While Speer may be less than totally honest in this book, he nonetheless wrestles openly and forthrightly with his guilt, his conscience, his role in history, his time in prison, and more.

It's about twenty years in prison. So not exactly a suspense book. The mix of describing a dreary lolling along every day life in prison doing menial little chores and recollections of being a minister in the third reich during the war and perhaps Hitler's closest man is chilling. A good argument against the death sentence, and also against not allowing prisoners to write... Criminals should write, like Speer did.

I found these reprinted diaries of Albert Speer fascinating. It was quite revealing to get a behind-the-scenes look at Hitler's inner group, particularly towards the end of the war.
