Summary: he really believed what he says
Review: to him what he said was very true, he really believed what he was saying. he was an intelligent and well respected bavarian soldier, who for some reason became infatuated with the "threats of Marxism" and the annihilation of all foreigners specifically the those of jewsih descent. he didnt make himself leader the people made him leader, so they agreed with him. he shouldnt bear 100 percent of the blame. its a very interesting read, one can follow the trasformation that transpires within hitler through the course of the book. when i was reading it, he was justifying everything he stated, i dont remember reading any statements he didnt back up with personal information.

Summary: Don't Miss The Point
Review: Mein Kampf is a torturous, confused ramble filled with hate, lies and useless metaphors. Although we could equally lambast Stalin or Mao as some of the worst men ever to have lived, Hitler stands apart from all the other sadists of history. Perhaps it was because the man who wrote this book was democratically elected to govern the most civilised country in the world; a nation with a rich tradition of intellectualism and brilliance. After all, Germany produced Kant, Goethe, Nietzsche and Beethoven among others. Hitler is an example of a human being without conscience or feeling, and Mein Kampf offers a dark insight into the depths of human depravity. Read about Gandhi or Mandela to be inspired, read Mein Kampf to be chilled to the core. I think this quote summarizes the man and the magnitude of his stupidity, intolerance and evil: "I am freeing men from the restraints of an intelligence that has taken charge; from the dirty and degrading modifications of a chimera called conscience and morality" (p.219.)

Summary: Mind Scrambler
Review: This book was great! I think people should really take the time to read and appreciate a book like this. Althouh this book was a mind scrambler and was written by a horrable human being, it really gives you the insight look in Adolf Hitlers' mind. Some parts were exaggerated if you ask me but i think everyone does. It's so amazing to read this book because you can sometimes agree with some of the points he made. I really think this book helps you find out a lot of our history. So i really think you should read it.

Summary: A Fascinating Curiosity
Review: Part biography, part party manifesto and part propoganda pamphlet, "Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle") is three volumes of a work first published in 1925 while the Little Corporal was just that, an obscure agitator serving a brief prison sentence for a failed coup (putsch) in Munich. Manheim's translation of "Mein Kampf" is perhaps the best one so far. He does an excellent job translating many of the German metaphors into English. Don't feel guilty about buying this book. Having it on your bookshelf doesn't make you a Nazi sympathizer. So go on, buy it, read it and remember that those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.

Summary: Most Influencial Book Ever Read
Review: This book has got to be the most influencial book that one can read. I've read the entire book twice and i'm only 17. The idea's and "ramblings" as all you protalitariats call it would actually work. People should just give his book a chance in society today. It would be such a better place.

Summary: Psycho king of the twentieth century
Review: Here is more than a sick puppy,this is the devil incarnate,and i resent these other reviewers who comment on his style,or his sentence composition.This is not just another book,this is a book written by a man who was responsible for the systematic annihalation of 6 miillion jews along with about20 million russians and on and on,he was a horrific man,or rather beast,and this book details the foundations of what he wanted... the third reich,the pure Aryan race.Reading "Mein Kampf"and casually commenting on it as though it were jusy another book,is like reading Karl Marx "Das Kapital" and calling another book on economics.

Summary: Life's A Struggle... so is reading this book
Review: I could not finish this book.... simply put, the writing style makes the book heavy, each page is a struggle to get through. The book just made me feel more dislike for Hitler than I had before.

Summary: Hitler invents sensationalism
Review: By definition, sensationalism is made up of politically empty ideas and stories that are not only packaged to grab the eye, but also used to make some sort of social commentary. It's an idealogy used by everyone from Geraldo Rivera to Oliver Stone. If only one word can be used to sum up Hitler's alternately riveting and incoherent 700-page epic rant, that would be it. In this book he goes off on just about every person, idealogy and government system that he does not approve of, often contradicting himself in between chapters. The chapters themselves are filled with long, over-worded paragraphs, some of which are only one sentence long, in which the infamous Fuhrer frequently gets lost. It is crucial to remember that Hitler did not write this book. Rather, he paced around his prison cell talking, while a friend typed his rants verbatim. This is a dead-giveaway of Hitler's sensational speaking style. Rather than simply state his ideas, he overloads his sentences with meaningless words and accusations, all for the sake of making his ideas seem all the more potent. It's a shame, too, since believe it or not, since most of Hitler's rants are meaningless at best (especially his Anti-Semetic sentiments), there are ideas in the early chapters that are full of insight and truth. He hits home when he talks about the pure stupidity of the nihilistic Germans, who hate the system simply for the sake of hating, and raise their children to reject all authority. As Hitler puts it, they raise their children to be stupid. Hitler's hypothetical story about such children is worth the price of admission alone, as it can easily be applied to today's brood of Americans who raise their children accordingly. Such insight appears intermittently through this otherwise pretentious and over-long book. So thus, this will not be an easy read for anyone. It doesn't matter anyway, since the only people likely to buy this book are either neo-Nazis or curious college students, both of whom on self-fulfilling prophecy missions. Real historians are smart enough to look elsewhere for insight into Hitler's mindset.

Summary: Do we need another review?
Review: Wow! What a read! Finally, to understand where Hitler was coming from. It is hard to believe any historical documents about the war these days. There is so much distortion, the numbers, the facts, the revisionists, etc. This book explains race, nationalism, politcs, and much much more. What frightens me most, is how the things that were true in Germany in the 20's-30's is completely true in America today. Please read it with an open mind to see the parallels of then and now. It wouldn't surprise me if "history repeats itself" wasn't so far off. The worst thing is, that America never will have the chance at any glimmer of nationalism. We have no culture. We have no history. We have no definitive race to call our own. We're just a mish-mash of rebellious runaways, tryin' to make a go at it....

Summary: Judge the words not the author
Review: This work is something of a phenonemon is that no other published work has been judged so predominantly on it's author alone without regard for it value as a literary piece. Had Plato, or Dickens or Shakespeare written this it would have had praise lavished upon it, just as if Hitler had written "Hamlet" it would have been condemned. To fully appreciate this work that narrow, blinkered political dogma has to be set aside. Approach with an open mind and evalutate the work itself and you will find that this book is not at all as it is commonly portrayed. It is reasonably well written, although it's foremost asset is the committment and passion with which the autor addresses the issues closest to his heart and the emotions of a man driven by burning ambition which radiate from every page. Whether or not you agree with the sentiment, I suspect most will not, every point is made with conviction and feeling. These are the words of a man speaking his mind with forthright honesty, a man who has a confident, unshakeable faith in his ideas and is not ashamed to share them with the world, a man with a vision in which he passionately believes. This book is branded "evil" as a matter of routine, but it is still essential reading if any objectively complete understanding of this period of history is to be achieved. No man should condemn that which he does not know, the other side of the story must be heard, and can there be a better source that the central figure in the story himself. Read this and dismiss it as nonsense if you see fit, but do read it for the insight it provides is as illuminating as it is invaluable.
