Mein Kampf, which means 'my struggle' in German, is a political manifesto written by German dictator Adolf Hitler. It gives insight into his racist ideology distinguishing Aryans as the ""genius"" race and Jews as ""parasites"". Hitler began Mein Kampf while imprisoned for his failed Putsch in Munich in November 1923 and a trial in February 1924 for high treason, where he devoted himself entirely to the book. When Mein Kampf was first released in 1925 it sold poorly. People had been hoping for a sensational autobiography or a behind-the-scenes story of the Beer Hall Putsch. What they got were hundreds of pages of long, hard-to-follow sentences and digressing paragraphs written by a self-educated man. However, after Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany, millions of copies were quickly sold. It was regarded as essential to own a copy. The book was, in fact, given as gifts to newlyweds, high school graduates, and on any celebrated occasion. Although it made him rich, Hitler would later express regret that he produced Mein Kampf, considering the extent of its revelations; the revelations concerning the nature of his character and his blueprint for Germany's future that served as a warning to the world. A warning that was mostly ignored.

This book is apalling to most people.....but I believe it is an important part of the world's history and actually being able to read Hitler's reasonings for his atrocious actions.

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.
