1969... Albert Speer, beloved architect and minister of armaments in Hitler's government, publishes his memoirs. Recalling his past, from the design of the NSDAP party congresses to the fall of the Reich, he assures the reader that he has completely rethought his beliefs. Such a “metamorphosis" allowed him to save his life following the Nuremberg trials. Allegedly knowing nothing about the details of the “final solution to the Jewish question,” he is ready to “bear responsibility,” but “does not feel guilty.” Historians will prove in vain that he is lying: the image of the sufferer will be fixed in the mass consciousness for a long time. This book is a story about one of the most monstrous falsifications in the history of German Nazism. Exploring episodes from Speer's life, finishing for him where he prudently falls silent, drawing on eyewitness accounts, including the historian Gitta Sereny, who met Speer many times, the author offers us a fascinating story about a man whom one of his assistants once called “the Fuhrer's unhappy love.” . A memorable documentary novel from a Goncourt Prize nominee. – In the center of the story is Albert Speer, a high—ranking Nazi and one of the most skilled liars of the 20th century. – An important reflection on the plasticity of history and the culture of post-truth. – The author's style combines the accuracy of a historian, the sharpness of a publicist and the expressiveness of a writer. – The perfect choice for fans of Jonathan Littell, Benjamin Labatute and Florian Illyes.
