Trivia Fact - the late Senator Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) was once sued by Adolf Hitler for violating the copyright on Mein Kampf. He was working as a journalist in the 1930’s and he and some colleagues decided to reprint an English translation in paperback, and distribute it as widely and cheaply as possible, in order to alert the American people to the looming dangers of Nazi Germany.

Cranston lost the suit, but by that time millions of copies had been sold.
