I have long been fascinated by Albert Speer — his story says more about us than it does about him.
"Speer had served as minister of armaments in wartime Nazi Germany, and was found guilty of crimes against humanity; yet when he died, he was in London to promote his new book on the BBC."
"Speer understood that “celebrity operates very much beyond good and evil”, and tinkered with facts in order to maximise his fame – a forewarning of the #post-truth era."
