He built Hitler's dream of an empire, and then tried to explain why. Albert Speer was an ordinary architect who became one of the Third Reich's most powerful men, running the war machine that kept Hitler's armies fighting long after defeat was certain. At Nuremberg, he did what no other major defendant would: he accepted guilt. But guilt for what, exactly, and how much? Hitler's Architect traces Speer's rise from Hitler's favorite designer to Minister of Armaments, his trial before the war crimes tribunal, and the twenty years in Spandau Prison where he wrestled, never quite successfully, with the question of what he had really done. Drawing on trial transcripts, Speer's own smuggled prison writings, and decades of historical scholarship, this is the story of a good man's slow, willing surrender to power, and the reckoning that followed.
