Description

"Mein Kampf is the angry diatribe of history's most notorious anti-Semite, Adolph Hitler. It details Hitler's childhood, the "betrayal" of Germany in World War I, the desire for revenge against France, the need for lebensraum (living space) for the German people, the glorification of the "Aryan" race, and the means by which the Nazi party can gain power -- which Hitler identified as the extermination of "international poisoners," a thinly-veiled reference to Jews. It was largely ignored as the ranting of an obscure, small-party politician until Hitler became chancellor of the Third Reich in January 1933, when the book stood atop the German bestseller lists and the first concentration camp, Dachau, opened. As a bookseller, we think it is important to offer this infamous work because of its historical significance and educational role in the understanding and prevention of anti-Semitism."--Amazon.com
