Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party and person responsible for the death of more than 6,000,000 Jews during World War II, wrote Mein Kampf in prison after his failed putsch in 1923. In it, he details his political ideology and future plans. An anti-Semite and all around evil person, his text is nevertheless an important part of World War II history. It was a bestselling guidebook that directed the activities and indoctrination of SS soldiers and members of other now infamous groups, and it is therefore of interest to anyone researching War II history and the twisted thoughts upon which Nazi activities were based.
