Advantages: Gripping from start to finish.

Disadvantages: none

Gitta Sereny has created a masterpiece of great significance in this work and the unique access she had to a man who was at the centre of Hitler's regime. She has a tough and inquistorial style which pushed Speer hard to face questions which quite obviously haunted the man in later life.
Sereny is thourough in the examination of the detail of Speer's life and uncompromising in the her appraisal and questioning of his actions. It is fascinating to read Speer's retrospective viewpoints, which leave us with the sense of a man who struggled to comprehend the enormity of the events to which he had been so close.
This is a gripping work from begining to end which will provide a valuable historical resource for the futre.
