I’m not about to go there to find out, but I have heard suggestions that the apparent bump in sales of cheap e-reader copies is another 4Chan project, like their effort to have Kim Jong Un win the Time Man of the Year contest.
Possibly I should not sound off, but here goes. 1940 England. The first six months saw hopes of a compromise. Early in the year I saw the red and black copies of Mein Kamph in a small bookshop. South Ruislip, Middlesex. Piles of them. Possibly put there so that the public could then engage in derision. Even during the war there was no prohibition on listening to William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) "Germany Calling"- if one had long wave on the radio. More contempt and derision.
The Young Hitler I knew.
August Kubizek (1888-1956)
The Life and Death of Adolf Hitler.
Robert Payne.
If one can get past the revulsion and anger about Hitler, there is some interesting reading. My take is that the hard scrabble years experienced by a young teen-aged Hitler in Vienna formed his disregard for the human race. Possibly he was a sociopath. Another man might have striven to better society for all.
The rest is history. Robert Payne does a masterful job and indeed for genealogy buffs, the line of descent is invaluable. From Maria Schickelgruber to her son, Alois (later Hitler) and his stay in Liverpool, England are noteworthy.
Excuse the ramble.
shouldn’t that garbage be in the public domain yet? It doesn’t show up on Project Gutenberg though. It’s worthwhile to read what your enemies think, kind of like the Communist Manifesto.
The only thing Hitler got right in ‘’Mein Kampf’’ was his name. He dictated the thing to Rudolf Hess when they were cellmates in Landsberg Prison. The original title was ‘’My Four Year Struggle Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice’’. Hess mercifully shortened it to ‘’Mein Kampf’’. As bad as the book was there was an even more turgid and unreadable opus by Alfred Rosenberg, the Nazi Party ‘’philosopher’’ called “The Myth Of The Twentieth Century’’. Even Hitler confessed to finding it ‘’unreadable’’. When the guy who wrote history’s all time worst book says that about one of his buddies you know it’s bad.
At the local Barnes & Nobel (that I visited just today), Mein Kampf is in the World History section as non-fiction.
I tried reading it once. At the time I read many non-fiction books in 2-3 days. I gave up this one after 6 weeks.
It’s a fascinating book. He mixes in just enough of insightful truth that when he blends in the lies, they seem quite plausible in the context unless you think really carefully about what is actually being said. In a way, it’s quite brilliant how he makes his lies look like the truth.
Evil totalitarians can be frighteningly similar...

Marx are all very short, or should I say, relatively short.
We had a whack job psychedelic idiot at work reading it and growing a strange similar mustache. His sister was a rabid OWS type hyppi and he admired her meanness.
When will Mein Kamph 2 be released, ghost written by Bill Ayers?
I found it very sad; he’s also delusional. Worth reading, though.
I’m just finishing reading the Trilogy.
Great writing!
They should be required reading for everyone on the Right.
I’m sure the brains behind the Left’s political machine have read them, so they know what to plan against.
All the more reason for us “Good Guys” to read them. And our children and grand children as well.
Thanks for writing them.
“The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” shows the tactics used by Hitler and his cronies are exactly the same as the ones used by leftists today.
Equally disturbing is the number of sexual deviants in Hitler’s circle. Much like those in power today. Hope they share the same fate.
