Review title: so-so
Product review: Yes, this book is unique. Yes, because of the privileged position of the author it affords you a rare glimpse into important historical events. My rating, however, evaluates the book itself, how well it is written and how much thought went into it. I do not, by the way, object to the author's self-justification. Everyone indulges himself in this sort of thing continuously and it would be very naive to expect an autobiography not to. I DO object to the book's lack of insight into the psychological motivation of its principal subject (Albert Speer), to its superficiality, and to its banality.And despite my two-star rating I DO recommend that you read it. If nothing else, certain parallels between Hitler's Germany, as Speer describes it, and George W. Bush's America (especially his political exploitation of the events of September 11) are interesting and striking (as well as, of course, alarming).
