Mein Kampf is the autobiography and articulated worldview of one of the most consequential and visionary leaders in world history.  It is also one of the most maligned and least understood texts of the 20th century.  There have been so many obfuscations, deceptions, and outright falsehoods circulated about this work, that one scarcely knows where to begin.  Nonetheless, the time has come to set the story straight.

 

Written in the mid-1920s when Hitler was still a relative unknown, this book has never had an adequate English translation.  British and American publishers were inherently biased against the author and his ideas, and were anxious to portray them as jumbled, incoherent, and even crazy.  The reality is very different than this.  Hitler offers clear and concise accounts of his life, of history, and of his own emerging worldview.  His ideas resonate to the present day.

 

This work includes the best of both volumes of Mein Kampf—the most interesting, most relevant, and timeliest material.  It makes for compelling reading.

 

Mein Kampf is one man’s assessment of history and vision for the future.  It is blunt; it is harsh; it is unapologetic.  It does not comply with contemporary standards of politeness, objectivity, and political correctness.  It sounds offensive to sensitive modern ears.  But the book is undeniably important.  It is more consequential than perhaps any other political work in history.  It deserves to be read, in a clear and unbiased translation.  And each reader will then be free to determine its ultimate value and meaning for themselves.
