Book Reviews of Speer: The Final Verdict
Book Review: Another Speer Bio that Falls Short of Sereny's
Summary: 3 Stars
Like Dan van der Vat's biography, "The Good Nazi: The Life and Lies of Albert Speer", Joachim Fest's work, "Speer: The Final Verdict" is a largely unnecessary offering that simply rehashes the old debate about Hitler's armaments minister.
Gitta Sereny's superb biography, "Albert Speer: His Battle with Truth" remains the standard work on Speer and will no doubt remain so for a long time to come. Both van der Vat's and Fest's work pale in comparison. The only thing that makes Fest's Speer biography truly compelling, and allows it to trump van der Vat's, was his personal involvement with the subject. Fest and Speer worked together on editing Speer's memoirs in the late '60s. A few personal glimpses of Speer appear in this work, but one wishes Fest had written his own memoir of working with Speer instead.
For the comprehensive Speer biography, check out Sereny's work first.
