Describing his first impressions of Speer, Casalis said he was the most tortured man he had ever met. Three years later he saw Speer as the most repentant. Speer's struggle with his own soul, and with the collective German guilt that is Hitler's legacy, forms the basis of this remarkable book. Gitta Sereny first laid eyes on Speer during the Nuremberg trial and got to know him well over the last four years of his life. After many conversations with him, members of his family, his former staff and friends, and twelve years of research and writing after his death with access to many of his private papers, she has produced one of the most intimate and best~informed books on Hitler, the Third Reich and its terrible effects. Albert Speer was Hitler's architect before the Second World War. Their friendship was intense and bordered on love. Through Hitler's great trust in him and Speer's own genius for organization, as of 1942 he became, effectively, overlord of the entire war economy, making him the second most powerful man in the Third Reich. He was an inveterate schemer and brilliant planner, selfishly pragmatic and a ruthless user of others. Yet he was unique among Hitler's men in the integrity of his battle of conscience. How Albert Speer came to terms with his own acts and failures to act, his progress from moral extinction to moral self~education and the question of his real culpability in Nazi crimes are the elemental, titanic battles that dominate this story. Albert Speer: His Battle With Truth is a compelling and beautifully readable work, one of the greatest on Hitler's Germany, the Second World War and its awful aftermath, seen through the life of an extraordinary man. It illuminates the co~existence of and the struggle between good and evil in humanity.…

Here is the whole shameful story, told in full tor the first time. It is a story told largely in the words of the people themselves, about their reactions and experiences in this cataclysmic uprooting that robbed them of their homes, their businesses, their farms, their sense of belonging to a nation that repudiated them solely on grounds of racial ties with the enemy~although the overwhelming majority of them had clear records of responsible and loyal citizenship, the young children and elders among them could not possibly have posed a threat to security, and the American~born men were asked to contribute to the very war effort they were assumed to jeopardize. This is the drama of their confinement, of their eventual release and gradual reacceptance by their countrymen, whose hysteria~whipped on by racial hate groups~was sanctioned by the highest tribunal of the land (through decisions which still stand unreversed today). Now, twenty~five years later, "the apologies have been made, the reparations attempted, the claims settled, and the citizenship of the renunciants restored,'' write the authors, "but the evacuation can not be relegated to a dusty corner of history. As a departure from American principles . it will stand as an aberration and a warning.". …
