Summary: Not a light read!
Review: This book is really something that one should take the time for, it is not an easy read, especially not in German, and the book is also not very exciting, it is, after all, a political book. Some people seem offended that I own this book, when they see it on my shelf, some dare not say anything, afraid i might be some kind of neo nazi, but Mein Kampf is one of the best selling books ever published, and it had a great impact on those who read it during it's time of first publishing. People simply look at Hitler as being this disturbed man, who was just dangerous to everyone, and should never have been alive, but there is more to Hitler than hatred. He had the power to convince millions of people that he could change their economical, social and political situation, he influenced and inspired them. He was a brilliant man, although also said to be mentally ill, possibly schizophrenic. People are scared of young adults reading Mein Kampf and being influenced by it, but in order to prevent something like this from happening again, we should look at the situation at that time, we can read this book and learn from it, find out what drove Adolf Hitler to this. I believe this is a book more people should read and learn from, instead of fearing it and the man behind it. But beware, it's not an easy read.

Summary: Horrific yet educational
Review: Anyone who doesn't give this book atleast 4 stars hasn't read the book or did and had a tremendous bias about the subject. If your read this book with an open mind you will find it interesting, educational, and worth reading. You have to read the book to really understand the man who is said to be the worst man to walk the earth. You can't even start to understand WWII or the Holocaust without reading this book. If you even think you know anything about Hitler until you read this book all you have been told is bias.

Summary: arbajt mach fraj
Review: You can't attempt to read this book with a closed mind. I know what took place in WW2 was terrible but despite what american/allied propaganda will have you belive adolf hitler was not the monster he is made out to be. Both sides did horrific things. Don't get me wrong im not supporting Heinrich Himmler and nazi involvement in acts of antisemitism to put it lightly. What I am attempting to convey is what adolf hitler attempted when writing Mein kampf. if you read this book with an open mind it will surly make you re-evaluate your current outlook on capitalism communism and hopefully life itself. if nothing else you will at least walk away with a clearer perception of how the events of WW2 and Adolf Hitlers rise to power came to be.

Summary: Insight into anger
Review: Mein Kamph although long winded, a tremendous insight into how an individual can through being a failure apportion blame and hit out at minorities in order to further a cause by appealing to the lowest common denominator. I must say that I found the book to be a far better read than other reviewers have. If you are looking for a riveting read you will be disappointed but as a study of human nature it is a remarkable book.

Summary: Historical Document
Review: Rating this book is something of a futile exercise. What is important is that the reader understand that this book is a penetrating look into the psycho/socio state of a man who held tremendous influence on the 20th century world. From a historical perspective one can see clearly that Hitler did in fact spell out his goals for a Thousand Year Reich and wonder why Chamberlain and others so greivously overlooked it. As despicable as he and his literary work may be, it must be used as a tool in the study of one of the most tyrannical regimes in the twentieth century, lest such mistakes be misunderstood and hence repeated.

Summary: Hitler-An Intimate Portrait
Review: This book gives great insight on the man who almost destroyed an entire race of humans. Hitler used vivid imagery to write this book. I mean in some way he is very messed up. Well, by that satement I mean his parents were uncle and niece. Talk about no deep end in that gene pool. By doing some research on Hilter I have found that this inbreeding probably caused some of his "psychotic" behviour. If I dare to use that strong of a word. No "normal" (what is normal?) person would have the ability to almost kill off an entire race. Mein Kampf is one of those books you only want to read once because you shake your head at the thoughts this evil man had. I couldn't believe that one man could be so evil and want to cause harm to someone whom he has never met. Another theory I heard about why Hitler wanted to kill the Jews was because when his mother was dying it was a Jewish doctor who was treating her. But in reality does this five someone the right to kill 6 million people? I certainly think not. I'm not sure how the rest of you feel. I feel this book is scary, but should be read to fully understand the man who was Adolph Hitler.

Summary: do not steriotype the book.
Review: True the book was writen by Hitler, but it does have alot of true refrences to the politics of Austria and Germany in the 1920's. Remember Hitler came from a family that constantly moved and was controlled by an abusive father, Alois, Hitler would have became an artist if not for his father who forced him toward his path to power. The book does have doragatory references to the jewish race and is quite racist, but to learn of the turmoil of that period it is an exellent book to read

Summary: mein kampf
Review: this book is a book from some person, what the world seems as a bad person. In the most way i agree with is, but not with some things. Cultures are different, there are so many people on this world, with differend looks and looking into the world. Also is there a different between strong and weakniss people. We most protect weakness from the strongest. but also protect cultures and not become on big family. Let every land hold his culture, it is nice to go on vacation and to see the differences with your own land.

Summary: necesary if you want to understand Adolf Hitler
Review: I am not a nazi, and Im not a jew, Im the former of an anti-nazi militia unit. But in order to understand Hitler, you have to read this book, because it will help you understand all the facts of ww2, since the rising of Hitler, to the formation of death and concentration camps and the extermination of more than 6 million jews, by reading this book you will understand that only with the mentality of Hitler, and the discipline of German soldier was it possible to form such things as the Gestapo or the Waffen-SS, only a person with the mentality of Hitler would be able to write all the crimes he would comit in a book, and explain why the Nazi party passed to history as the most dreadful empire.
