Sinossi
Albert Speer faceva parte della ristretta cerchia di Hitler, forse l’unico collaboratore che per il dittatore provasse veri sentimenti di amicizia. Tuttavia l’architetto Speer era molto diverso dal tipico dirigente politico nazista: alto, elegante, l’espressione intelligente, idealista nelle enunciazioni di principio ma concreto ed efficace nell’azione, in quella compagnia sinistra e inquietante sembrava quasi un intruso. Sempre lontano dalle risse e dagli intrighi della Cancelleria, fu uno di quei tedeschi «apolitici» che accolsero con favore l’avvento di Hitler al potere, e poi non seppero dissociarsi dalla natura criminale del nazismo. Al processo di Norimberga evitò la condanna a morte grazie a un’accorta tattica difensiva.
Joachim Fest, il magistrale biografo di Hitler, affronta questa enigmatica personalità utilizzando la grande massa di documenti accumulati dagli studiosi, ma anche gli appunti dei suoi incontri personali con Speer.

Recensioni
TRUMP = HITLER As part of my research for my new novel, I just finished reading “Speer” by Joachim Fest. As you might imagine, there are constant references to Hitler, with whom Albert Speer worked closely, first as Hitler's chief architect and then as Minister of Armaments. Here are some of the ways Leggi tutto
This is a fascinating and excellent biography of Speer - I don't know that it can compare with Gita Sereny's biography 'Albert Speer: His Battle With Truth' - but it is more recent and obviously has advantages of more recent scholarship to build his portrait on. In addition I have admired Fest's wri Leggi tutto
Albert Speer was Germany's armaments and war production chief in World War II and one of the 22 Nazis in the first Nuremberg trial. Arguably the most prominent to escape a death sentence, he served a 20-year prison sentence. Speer has long been viewed somewhat differently than other high Nazis, whic Leggi tutto
Book Review 28 June, 2015 Speer: The Final Verdict published 2001 by Weidenfeld and Nicolson Joachim Fest, Translated by Ewald Osers and Alexandra Dring Once again Joachim Fest has impressed me greatly and I now look forward to reading his book about Hitler.

A fantastic and very successful effort by Joachim Fest to portray one of the most enigmatic characters in the Nazi circle. This book is not only a biography of Speer, but also a comprehensive study of the megalomanic nature of Hitler's Nazism as reflected in their ridiculous architectural designs. W Leggi tutto
Fest, who was an editor on Speer's various volumes of memoirs, is critical of some of the former Reichminister's claims, while also refusing to accept some of the attacks on the "Speer Myth" without pushback. For instance, he argues against the idea that Speer's account of a tearful meeting with Hit Leggi tutto
Fascinante analyse du personnage Speer, de son Ascension fulgurante au sein du 3eme Reich, de ses agissements et de ses égarements à mesure que l'abyme se creuse à ses pieds. Fest maîtrise à la perfection les mécanismes et les coulisses du pouvoir nazi, mais aussi les stratégies militaires et économ Leggi tutto
Nach ,,Ich nicht'' habe ich solchen Respekt vor Fests Urteil dass ich seine überlegteste Sicht auf die Hitler-Ära haben wollte. Das war eher der Grund für die Wahl dieses Buches als ein besonderes Interesse an Speer. Ich bekam das Gesamtbild, das ich wollte, sowie eine faszinierende Biographie eines Leggi tutto
