New English translation of the classic work by Adolf Hitler. This is a complete and unedited translation of Volume Two of Mein Kampf, in modern and highly readable American English. This is the first... This description may be from another edition of this product.
According to the Preface, this book was not written for the purpose of making friends or influencing people. The design from conception is to chronicle a movement, not create one.
You may also pay attention to the translator. And check different translations. Do not take introductions and comments as part of the book.
As a whole, one can have an opinion as to the results of the book. However, without reading it, the opinion has no chance to be informed. Another flaw with not reading this work is that you are relying on others' opinions and inferences. Taking most of the statements and conclusions from this book and displaying them separately, you would be surprised at how many you would agree with.
Just a sample of what is on the inside:
"I know people who 'read' enormously, Book for book, letter for letter, yet whom I would not describe as 'well-read.' True, they possess a mass of 'knowledge,' but their brain is unable to organize and register the material they have taken in... For reading is no end in itself, but a means to an end."
These are not platitudes but examples of observations of the time, which you can see, are timeless.
Once in a while, the reading may seem redundant, but it is the nature of writing for the time and place. So again, this book is a must-read.
Trustworthy Translation

Thomas Dalton's Translation, is likely the most accurate and true to the source material. The publishers, Clemens & Blair, LLC, also continue to produce really interesting, high quality and much needed works. I recommend checking out the other offerings by either searching for publisher or by searching the 'Thomas Dalton' name. 10/10
