Ahem..
If you want to find out about Albert Speer the worst thing you could do is read that book. He's biased, he lies throughout the book, he mis-spells people's names with spite, and he denies he knew anything about the Holocaust when it has been proven he did......
We went to a lecture held by Chris Condon.... get your teacher onto that one because its well worth it. After going, we didn't even study it in class. What he said and the supplementary material he gave out was enough to answer any question in any test.
Hope this helps.

we did Leni Reifenstahl but the book we were given which was really ace for her, probably would be for Speer as well was from the "Individuals in Modern History" series by Samantha L. Frappell
try that

nah i read individuals book on speer was not informative at all. i dont know where u can get info, coz our teacher put together, this whole booklet thingy. i dont think inside the third reich would be all that useful bc it is very bias and wouldn't display everything which actually happen, speer wud have cut stuff out.
all i know that mine was this red booklet with like 80 odd pages.
just write a timline of everything he did and study the most important things bs in every exam the only thing they ask is:
(i) OUTLINE his major adivements or events
(ii) ASSESS Speer's role / contribution as min for ama or in nazi ideology.
the questions will always basically be like this bc the speer is a dead end topic and theres is not uch they can ask on it yet, due to the lack of decent resources available.
good luck

If you can get the book that Gitta Sereny (sp?) wrote on Speer that would be pretty useful, and have some pretty good historiography. If not this websites got some alright info:

Dont bother reading "inside the third Reich" Speer is so on himself and so amazingly "forgetful" of important facts.
Example: "Hitler refused to let me travel to Norway, Finland and Russia because he considered the journey too dangerous and me too indispensable, without me the empire would have been sorely taxed to function properly"
What a load of shit
