Inside the Third Reich

An eyewitness narrative of Hitler playing out his fantasies of military genius & imperial potentate

---

'INSIDE THE THIRD REICH is not only the most significant personal German account to come out of the war but the most revealing document on the Hitler phenomenon yet written. It takes the reader inside Nazi Germany on four different levels: Hitler's inner circle, National Socialism as a whole, the area of wartime production and the inner struggle of Albert Speer. The author does not try to make excuses, even by implication, and is unrelenting toward himself and his associates...Speer's full-length portrait of Hitler has unnerving reality. The Fuhrer emerges as neither an incompetent nor a carpet-gnawing madman but as an evil genius of warped conceits endowed with an ineffable personal magic.' NEW YORK TIMES

Albert Speer was Hitler's right hand man during the war. Speer was convicted in the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. After the war, Speer spent 21 years in prison, during which he wrote this book.
