Mein Kampf........worth reading?

[Imnotdutcheither]

I'm turning into an avid reader I'm considering buying Mein Kampf.........anybody read it?

I'm kinda interested in getting Hitlers perspective on things.........

 

[Lao Tzu]

read 'the young hitler i knew' by august kubizek. That was a good insight into hitler's personality.

He wrote another book called Young Hitler but i've never read that one.

 

[sermon_of_mockery]

was wondering this myself.wheres 2pick at?

 

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

What are you looking to get out of it?

 

[The Red Dragon]

I heard its badly written...he wasn't much of a writer =/

Well, very little is taught about his beliefs. I am trying to get my head around the driving force behind the man.........what he believed in, how those ideas developed and why they developed.

I will look into that other book Nordstrom.........thanks.

It is but in order to have an idea and be able to discuss about these issues, I believe it's worth the time.

 

[Fragadelic]

I read it about 25 years ago. If I recall correctly, it was not a very coherent read - he wasn't as articulate in writing as he was hypnotic in speech.

 

[Robert Jan]

I think its interesting in that you gain insight in the control of a nation, but there are better books for that. If you are simply interested in his persona, read it for sure

 

[EnderJE]

Have you tried "Hitler for Dummies?"

 

[2Thick]

Read it in German.

 

[Imnotdutcheither]

Just ordered it....along with a couple of Marx books (Capital and The Communist Manifesto). Should get plenty of lighter stuff in the next few days..........just waiting for Parcel Force to get their act together.

 

[MattTheSkywalker]

it is worth reading so that you can understand that even withthis book out in the open, the germans elected Hitler.

I love when people say The Nazis fought that war/killed those people" as if the Nazis came from the trees of the Teutonic forests.

After that read "Constantine's Sword".

 

[Code]

No.
It's pure garbage.

imno, i guess you are not exacly looking for a beach read.

 

[Lumberg]

I was gonna say, it's probably out there for free.

Most of the stuff worth readign is available for free.

Check out project Gutenberg....you'll nver buy a book again!

I'm reading Waverly right now, AWESOME book.

As per Mein Kampf, I think I tried to read it a long while back but as I rememebr I just couldn't get into it. Super boring and just plain bad.

I read it about 25 years ago. If I recall correctly, it was not a very coherent read - he wasn't as articulate in writing as he was hypnotic in speech.

He had learning disabilities.........the book is hard to read, but well worth it. I wrote a paper on it freshman year of college.

 

[Yarg!]

yeah i might check it out too, just to see his perspective on things. dont get me wrong i m in no way a nazi supporter, but the dude's got quite an auora of charisma around him.
