Translated by Ralph Manheim with a new introduction by John Lukacs. A compilation of Hitler's most famous prison writings of 1923--the bible of National Socialism and the blueprint for the Third Reich.
"For years, Mein Kampf stood as proof of the blindness and complacency of the world. In its pages Hitler announced--long before he came to power--a program of blood and terror in a self-revelation of such overwhelming frankness that few had the courage to believe it...That such a man could go so far toward realizing his ambitions--that is a phenomenon the world will ponder for centuries to come." --Konrad Heiden, author of Der Fuhrer: Hitler's Rise to Power

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.
