It's about twenty years in prison. So not exactly a suspense book. The mix of describing a dreary lolling along every day life in prison doing menial little chores and recollections of being a minister in the third reich during the war and perhaps Hitler's closest man is chilling. A good argument against the death sentence, and also against not allowing prisoners to write... Criminals should write, like Speer did.

I found these reprinted diaries of Albert Speer fascinating. It was quite revealing to get a behind-the-scenes look at Hitler's inner group, particularly towards the end of the war.
