In 1969 Albert Speer, Hitler’s favourite architect, publishes his memoirs.
Rewriting his own past, claiming to have known nothing, he declares himself ‘collectively responsible, but not individually guilty’.
It is one of the greatest lies in history. Jean-Noël Orengo’s electrifying novel is the story of a man who saved his skin through the countless fictions he created about himself; who dazzled those around him with his monuments to power and then, escaping death, reinvented himself as a bestselling author.
