Mein Kampf was first published in two volumes in 1925-6 and sold between eight and nine million copies during Hitler's lifetime, as well as being widely translated. It is the most notorious political tract of the twentieth century, a mixture of unreliable autobiography and half-baked political philosophy, which brought tragedy to Germany and the world. Mein Kampf is an evil book, but the Manheim translation remains necessary reading for those who seek to understand the Holocaust, for students of totalitarian psychology and for all who care to safeguard democracy. This edition contains an introduction by D.C.Watt, who served as Professor of International History at the University of London from 1981 to 1993, which analyses Hitler's background, gives the origins and history of the book, and ends with a critical assessment both of Hitler's incoherent ideas and his ruthless understanding of political power. All profits from the sale of this book are donated to an anti-discrimination charity.

Nice edition of a controversial book
This book is a hardcover one that is very firm and it is translated from the original Hitler's text in German. I like tis book as an academic resource for research, and to me this edition is very well done. I do not rate five stars because of the content of the book, but for its quality on pages, cover and features.

Raw and Empassioned
Personal views on the author aside, this book is full of raw and empassioned views on a range of subjects relatable to the German people of the time. The intimate and personal thoughts of the world's fourth most mass murderers are presented for people to scour and interpret. The book can be difficult at times to understand and the context does not always fit with western views of the world at the time or the way we understand them now.

Mein Kampf
This is a very intense read about the coming about of Hitler's view on politics and race. Not for the faint of heart. Although the book is a very interesting read, it really takes concentration and intestinal fortitude. Great book to get a bird's-eye view of Hitler's genius.
