Has anyone read this?
I've been meaning to grab a copy and have a read of it but haven't had the real chance to sit down lately. So can anyone confirm if it's a book worthy of reading?

I'm being serious here.

nah you right, me too, but i havent read it yet hey.
i heard the middle part of it though is so in depth it gets boring,.

+mein kamph contained all hitlers ideas and what he wasnt going to do, and no one took notice, or even slightly cared? i mean his whole plan was there written while he was in jail on other issues...

It is a book, Hitler wrote it after the Munich Putsch (I think?) before he became chancellor...

FRIG WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER THIS STUFF WHEN I'M ACTUALLY IN THE EXAM!

Did you do Germany for your mod hist paper? If so, you choose Albert Speer as your personality?

You did someone who WASN'T your personality? You're brave! I HATED the personality question "history is about winners" seriously its was stupid.
My dad's friend wrote the paper and I felt like slapping him.

It just seemed too subjective, really.

in his early years he makes a lot of excuses in the text for his miserable failures @ life and basically blames everyone else, and the particular translation i was reading was full of footnotes about what actually happened to him :D

I started studying Albert Speer after I found Trotsky to be as boring as bat shit which was around just after the Trials. My cousin did him as a personality when she did her hsc a few years ago, so she gave me all her notes. Pretty lucky.
Managed to write a nice 12 pages all up on the personality question.

Well, I thought the question itself at first sight looked pretty simple really until you think hold on...hmmm, tricky question...lol

I really want to read Mein Kampf, especially after studying Germany for Modern.
My modern teacher read it years ago and she told us it is 'basically a stream of insane dribble'. Not surprising, ha.

it is a load of shit.

If you are going to read a well researched and well written pamphlet on political ideology read the communist mannifesto - perhaps that would dispel a lot of myths that go with communism and socialism as well...
