 | Inside The Third Reich by Albert Speer
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £5.24 The first book by Speer, and despite the authorial bias, an essential read for study of the period. Still often treated as a primary source.
|
 | Spandau: The Secret Diaries by Albert Speer
Buy used from: £21.50 His second work, and not only as informative as Inside The Third Reich, but with pathos that really does allow the reader a small insight into the interminal boredom of his prison life.
|
 | Albert Speer-Victim of Nuremberg? by William Hamsher
Buy used from: £11.00 Hamsher cashes in on the back of sales for Inside The Third Reich, a book of little relevance or real insight.
|
| Infiltration: The Ss and German Armament by Albert Speer
Buy used from: £1.68 Also published as The Slave State. Lacking in style, this expresses Speer's effort to blame Himmler for many of the crimes Speer was found guilty of, despite his (almost) incessant 'mia culpa's.
|
| Albert Speer: The End of a Myth by Matthias Schmidt
Buy used from: £7.19 Schmidt's doctorial thesis that proved Speer had been involved with the eviction of Berlin Jews. The first real crack in the Speer armour, however Speer was already dead before it's publication.
|
 | Albert Speer - His Battle With Truth by Gitta Sereny
Buy used from: £4.47 Brilliant psychological / biographical survey of Albert Speer, where a largely un-judgemental Sereny leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions.
|
 | The Good Nazi: Life and Lies of Albert Speer by Dan Van Der Vat
Buy used from: £6.75 The first 'independant' biography of Speer (the author bases this claim on having only met Speer once) that is quite partisan against Speer, but really offers the reader nothing new.
|
 | Speer: The Final Verdict by Joachim Fest
Buy used from: £5.66 Osers translation REALLY lets Fest's biography down, and the book becomes pedantic, although not entirely without merit.
|
 | Albert Speer: Conversations with Hitler's Architect by Joachim C. Fest
Buy new: £15.78 / Used from: £14.46 Despite it's short length, this collection of edited notes really does shine another pin prick of light on to Speer, as well as saying quite a bit about the now deceased Fest
|
 | The Two Worlds of Albert Speer: Reflections of a Nuremberg Prosecutor by Henry T. King
Buy used from: £178.68 King interrogated Speer in '45 and offers his opinion on the development of Speer's character and rationale over the following years. Full of hideous factual errors. Only for the enthusiast.
|
 | The Other Side of Love: Dialogues with Prison Experience of Albert Speer by Miriam Pollard
Buy used from: £10.45 The author imagines herself in dialogue with Speer. Adds Nothing. Steer Clear.
|
 | Interrogations: The Nazi Elite in Allied Hands, 1945 (Allen Lane History) by R.J. Overy
Buy used from: £3.74 A combination of analysis and primary source documentation that Overy presents with his customary skill.
|
 | Nuremberg Trial by Ann Tusa
Buy used from: £3.00 Best book on the actual trails, although not so good at 'fleshing out' the defendants.
|
 | Nuremberg Diary by G.M. Gilbert
Buy new: £8.96 / Used from: £6.55 The best and probably 'seminal' psychologiacl assement of Speer and his co-defendants. Read with Tusa and Tusa's work.
