4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent way to understand part of history, April 15 2002

By

S. T. Pratt (Guilderland, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mein Kampf (Hardcover)

If you are one of those people who are looking to further understand history by reading literature, then you will probably want to read Mein Kampf. In this book, you will find the ideologies and personality that led Adolf Hitler to take the course that he did. You will be able to further understand why things happened and why Hitler acted the way he did. Keep in mind, however, that this book must be read with an open mind that wishes to learn more about this aspect of history.

Mein Kampf was not written for you to sit down and read for enjoyment, and it should not be taken that way. The reading can be slow at times, but if you really wish to learn more about Hitler, the Third Reich, and what led to the Second World War, then this book is an indispensible resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than anyone will admit, July 2 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Mein Kampf (Hardcover)

I have just spent some time reading this book for the first time, and I can only come to the conclusion that most of the reviews of this book are written by people who have not read the book.

Hitler makes profoundly accurate indictments of modern internationalism and anti-culture. For anyone who has some understanding of how empty our modern culture is, this book will have a great deal of meaning.

The Jewish Question is a rather minor point in this book, and contrary to popular belief you will find no evidence for the Holocaust in Mein Kampf.

Overall, this book is not about Racism, but cultural unity. Race is perhaps a part of cultural unity but Hitler does not argue such a point in the way most would think. In this modern era of anti-internationalism known as anti-globalization, you will find in this work the first thorough criticism of the obliteration of group culture both in economics and art.

I find Hitler's writing style to be very personal, and genuine. Despite whatever one may think of his conclusions, he writes with a passion that is rare. In the future, this book will be much more appreciated as it was the first articulated reaction to our modern times. One thing is absolutely certain, the path humanity is currently following will ultimately fail. This book is an early attempt to explain why human existence is much more than having food, clothing, and shelter.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Great look inside the mind of Adlof Hitler, Aug 16 2001

By

Ron Sansone (Hazlet, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mein Kampf (Paperback)

When reading this book it is important to keep a perspective about the times in which it was writen. I enjoyed the book even though some of it got repetitious. Hitler goes from being viewed as an out-of-work down-on his luck Bum, to a dedicated soldier, to a crazy mastermind and a compulsive Manic-Depressive. It's real easy to get inside of his head as he pretty much writes whatever seems to come into his mind at the time. I read it at the same time as two other books in order to give me an historic perspective. It is important to know your history to fully enjoy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mein Kampf
If you are interested in the history of WW I & II this is a must have book. It goes into detail and almost in the mind of Hitler himself. Highly recommend for your collection.
