Summary: Unpublished sequel??!!
Review: ..Then why is it that I can go down to my local library and find several editions of this VERY SAME BOOK in print???!?!?! Already, I am seriously questioning the validity of this work. This book was first published in 1961....and I think I will be reading that version...the FIRST EDITION!!! Anyone who tauts that this is some newly discovered work had better do some research. The manuscript was discovered after the war....and if it takes almost 50 years to publish the "unpublished sequel", then something's rotten in Denmark! Get the first edition.

Summary: Finally A More Complete View of Hitler's Thinking
Review: The text by Hitler actually expands on Mein Kampf and focuses on foreign policy which tutnred out to be of enormous importance to the world. Hitler had a great impact on world history and is the central figure of the 20th century whether we like it or not. The added importance here is the presence of the introduction and notes that do not appear in any edition of Mein Kampf. Hitler's Second Book is therefore much more useful to students such as myself and I strongly recommend it. And by the way it is completely AUTHENTIC.

Summary: questionable translation
Review: The writing style for this short volume is from the same hand that wrote Mien Kampf. It is lucid, quick whitted and lashes out with strong brush strokes, assaulting the nations of Europe and encouraging German minorities to rise to the occasion. This book was the work of Hitler in the late 1930s when he had obtained power but prior to the beginning of World War Two. The first chapters detail the authors interest in the German minorities and their rights throughout Europe. The latter part of the book delves into the importance of America in Germanys coming conflict.In the end this book is not much more enlightening then Mien Kampf in shedding light on the psychology of Hitler. Although some new material is included mostly this will appeal to the German/Nazi enthusiast. The writing becomes boring and you get the feeling you've read the same point again and again.

Summary: questionable translation
Review: There are those of you out there who will understand the meaning of what I am writing here.I have matched the translation of this book with earlier editions,and picked out many differences that clearly indicates to me the author of this edition,Weinberg,has added remarks,and personal phrasing to relay this work the way he wants the reader to view this document,such as the mordern day rehashed translation editions availiable today of Mein Kampf.He uses words in the forward to describe Hitler as evil,and describes his attitude towards Jews of the period as immaginary enimies,nothing more on jewish activity during the period.Weinberg's 2003 edition of this document contains a very biased translation.Look to earlier translatios of this work.
