The Good Nazi The Life and Lies of Albert Speer

by Dan van der Vat

Portraying himself during the Nuremberg trials as an "unwitting collaborator, " Albert Speer stood out among the accused as the one "good Nazi." In this hard-hitting biography, Dan van der Vat reveals Speer to be a dedicated servant of the party who, as Hitler's minister of wartime production, was the Nazis' principle exploiter of forced labor.

[Debbie Beeny · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not a book for me. True, it's filled with specific information such as Albert Speers ancestry, his associates and his acquantence with Hitler. Amazing.
He was a middle child, unloved and it showed. The story continued building up to the Nazi court hearings. Originally I bought the book thinking this "good Nazi" hid Jewish children.
