Summary: historical/anthropoligical/ phenomenon of the highest order
Review: I am Jewish and an Israeli - grandson of Auschwitz victims. I am also a literature major and a writer. A thorough and detached reading of this manifeso reveals that in addition to being mad, Hitler was also an EXTREMELY able writer with an unquestionable & eclectic artisitic bent. His book is at times a fairy-tale at times a piece of sharp journalism and often a surrealisitic epic. He uses original metaphors and other imagery that to a German could have been easily inspiring. Together with the lectures, sermons and intuitive analysis on politics, psychology, and history, Hitler left me gasping with shock and wonder: six million jews and the world were in grave danger by 1908 when Hitler came to terms with his anti-semitism, not in 1933 when he began realizing this book word for word.

Summary: The doctrine of a mad man.
Review: I believe that this is a very important book for society to read. You will never understand this very complex man without reading it. Mein Kamph "My Struggle" is a brilliant doctrine that he put into plan. No one believe he would do it. They thought he was a raving lunatic. But he became Chancellor and then Fuhrer of Nazi Germany. Now he is known as one of the foremost murderers of our century. Maybe we should pay more attention to literature written by so called mad-men...

Summary: BLUEPRINT FOR GENOCIDE
Review: Hitler was as good as his word. One of the few politicians who did exactly what he planned to do, as described in this horrible book. "Know your Enemy" is good advice. I read this book as a high school student in an attempt to understand the most murderous doctrine of the 20th century. I was left feeling nothing but contempt for the book, though I appreciated the efforts of the people who translated it. Those who attempt to apologize for Hitler should be ashamed of themselves.

Summary: A determined man"s plan to rebuild his nation
Review: Mein Kampf details Hitler's course of action to revive his war- torn country. It is written with extreme confidence and persuasive ability. It is easy to see why other Germans were convinced that this plan would succeed. Hitler does not give a single hint of doubt that his plans will not work. He has an answer for everything. Some of his ideas are good, while others are extremely flawed. His argument in favor of racism is absurd. He seems to think that the world is composed of races of individuals that are in competition with each other and that we should all strive to ensure the survival of our race. I agree that we are all competitve to a certain degree. But I think that the competitiveness is on a person to person basis, not race against race. A common misconception that people have about this book is that it is Satanic. There is not one single mention of Satanism or anything else Satanic in nature anywhere in this book. If anti-semitic thoughts are inherently Satanic, then many of the prominent religious leaders in America are also Satanic. I found it interesting that Hitler never says anything about killing Jews. You get the feeling that he is thinking that way, but he never directly says this. This book is not always easy to read. I often had to read a paragraph a second time in order to fully understand exactly what Hitler was trying to convey to the reader. Mein Kampf should serve as a lesson to all about what can happen when too much power is given to the wrong person.

Summary: Read this book and understand National Socialism.
Review: Adolf Hitler was one of the most loved and hated men of the20th Century. In "Mein Kampf" we learn about the author'schildhood, the collapse of Germany in 1918, the founding of his National Socialist German Worker's Party and the abortive Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 which sent Herr Hitler to Landsberg Prison where he wrote his famous book. The author goes into detail on policy questions which will later be realized just before and during the Second World War. The book is said to be very prophetic in that sense. Any rumors of the difficulty in reading the work are false; it is easy to read and highly interesting. In short, this book is a must for those wishing to gain a more thorough understanding of German National Socialism and its creator.

Summary: A terrifying book
Review: Though this book positively terrified me, I couldn't stopreading it. The man was a genius that came from a broken home, wasabused by his family, and was driven mad. He consoled himself to fantasizing about having ultimate power, and put it into words. This was his way of warning us. The people took no notice of it, and it would have helped if they did. You must read this book; it will give you a different outlook on things, as well as a lesson in history.

Summary: A book worth reading!
Review: Mein Kampf is the one of the world's best sellers, second only to the Christian Bible. In this book, a man of the 20th Century sets social and political goals for an economically ruined, morally devastated post-war. Germany. Hitler gives us a picture of his Weltanschauung and his future plans for a Europe under National Socialist domination.This book is also valuable for its autobiographical nature. The first chapter of the book deals with Adolf Hitler's youth and upbringing. As with any autobiography, it shows us an ideal image of the young Hitler; but at the same time, we gain insight into how Hitler saw himself. Anyone familiar with the "Hitler Myth" can certainly see that Hitler was a man who believed what he wrote and said (even though it was not always the truth). One also gains knowledge of the beginnings and rise of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, the party which Hitler lead to victory in Germany's chaotic political atmosphere of the late 1920's and early 1930's. One reads about Hitler's decision to join the Party, the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch in Munich and the days in Landsberg Prison, where Hitler was sentenced to 9 months after the failed Putsch. This is where Hitler wrote his famous book. I would recommend this book to everyone who has an interest in history and 20th Century politics. It shows the mindset of a nation gripped by the tragedy of defeat and poverty after the First World War. It makes us aware of the ideas to overcome the tragedy held by many political figures of the time. It also proves that history can be predicted and even changed when we are armed with the education to do so.

Summary: A must read. But is just garbage
Review: How do we rate this book? Because of its historical significance? If we rate it based on that, then it certainly deserves 5 stars. However, I think we should rate it based in what's inside. It is nothing but garbage. I understand that Hitler had motifs to feel bad about the situation of Germany in the mid -20s but what he expresses in this book is WRONG. High School and College History books don't cover enough information about the economic and social situation of Germany during the 20s but still. Hitler's ideas are nothing but anger and hate. It has a great historical importance. This book is a must read. It is well written and covers important points. But the ideas are still Garbage. Anyone who doesn't think that Nazism is garbage has a problem and you and I know is true.

Summary: Most will not read this but . . .
Review: As the review title states most people will put this book face down and refuse to read it because of the author. As other reviewers have stated, this book probably shaped the political, social and economic environment of the latter 20th century like no other. As you read and analyze, based on the knowledge of the outcome, one can only scratch the surface of how insane this person and his ideas were but still very much alive in the world today.
In the United States the instant association of Hitler is linked to the white supremist movements, but the same philosophy is also present in the feminist movements, pro-abortion lobby, the compartmentilization of cultures in the differing diversity programs etc. Unfortunately most are afraid to read this book but if they do these associations and the parallelism are readily apparent.
This book should be required reading in any history program but it never will be.

Summary: The Truth!
Review: The Liberal Media plays up what really happened.
You should read for yourself what Mr. Hitler really believed, and make your judgement by that.
PBS (People's Board of Socialists) ran a documentary on Hitler the other day and the way it portrayed him, you would have thought Michael Moore directed it!
