Interesting
A reviewer, 17 - Kyle, 05/01/2008

I am 17 and I went and bought this book because my history teacher was talking to my class about it. I didn't think it would be so interesting just from the beginning itself. I am actually glad I got it even though some people give me some strange faces when I have it. 'To 'learn' history means to seek and find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.' - Hitler And with this book, we do just that. You figure out why Hitler did what he did and possible reason's behind it.

Hard to understand, but a great read.

I'm a 16 year old high school student, and I absolutely love history- preferably WWII. I recieved this book as a gift from my teacher because we share similar interests, and I have to admit, when I got it, I couldn't wait to read it! The book is highly captivating- it really takes you back, and lets you realize that Hitler was human. He had his own thoughts, his own dreams, much like all of us do. At some parts, I actually agreed with some of the things he said (scary!) except the termination of the races, religions, etc. As good as this book is, for younger readers Hitler's use of words might need to be re-read. I had some difficulty reading certain parts and I wanted to truly grasp the concept. Reading this book does NOT make one a Nazi. For educational purposes, this book is a must read.

Read with caution.

Perhaps, the most 'Nazi' thing that we can do, is be close minded about a variety of subjects. Yes the holocaust was a horrible deed but reading the book itself does not make us hateful towards those he targeted. We have to be open minded when we read the book, it is a literary piece of work.

Shocking

Hitler's writings remind us all that when crafty rhetoric and extremist thinking are combined, drastically horrific consequnces can ensue. It is said that to beat your enemy you have to understand his psyche -- all the more reason to read this compelling essay -- may nothing even close to the severity of the Hollocaust ever occur again.

A Study in Shear Madness
A reviewer, a student of 20th century history, 08/24/2004

One truly cannot understand the nature of Adolf Hitler's madness without reading Mein Kampf. In this work, Hitler describes his unsettling childhood, his years as a destitute artist in Vienna, his time in the armed forces, and ultimately, his initital experiences in politics. Hitler's incessant rambling and derogatory language foreshadow the horror that was to become the Holocaust. A must-read for those who desire background info on arguably the most disturbed leader in world history.
