Editorial Reviews

James Gerard
Vitally interesting. . . . It is with sadness, tinged with fear for the world's future, that we read Hitler's hymn of hate against that race which has added so many names to the roll of the great in science, in medicine, in surgery, in music and the arts, in literature and all uplifting human endeavor. -- Books of the Century; New York Times review, October 1933
Konrad Heiden

"For years, Mein Kampf stood as proof of the blindness and complacency of the world. In its pages Hitler announced--long before he came to power--a program of blood and terror in a self-revelation of such overwhelming frankness that few had the courage to believe it...That such a man could go so far toward realizing his ambitions--that is a phenomenon the world will ponder for centuries to come." --Konrad Heiden, author of Der Fuhrer: Hitler's Rise to Power

    A stark reminder that the citizenry must pay attention to what politicians say

    Citizens and voters become accustomed to hearing statements from politicians that are taken seriously only to the point where the election takes place. Even the most unusual or disturbing comments are passed off as political rhetoric, to be taken seriously only as a ploy to improve the chances of winning the election. If the politician wins the election, we then expect the duty and responsibility of the office to temper their actions down into a more reasonable and realistic configuration. If they lose the election, the citizenry largely ignores them.
    Ironically and unfortunately, this was the expectation but not the reality of the political career of Adolph Hitler. In this book, originally published in 1925, Hitler made it quite clear that he had a deep hatred of Jews and would not hesitate to launch Germany on a war quest to conquer additional territory and enslave the "inferior" races currently occupying the territory. However, whether out of fear or delusion, most of the German people and other inhabitants of Europe did not take Hitler's ranting, as expressed in this book, seriously. It is often lost to history that Hitler was legally named Chancellor of Germany at a point when his electoral fortunes were fading. Many of the political power brokers in Germany felt that Hitler could be moderated and controlled once he took the responsibility of the Chancellorship of Germany.
    This book is one of the most chilling and factual cases of "hiding in plain sight", as Hitler is so very explicit about his aims and yet few paid attention. If you have any interest in how Germany launched a war of conquest and genocide, then this is a book that you must read. In my opinion, it should be required reading in all political science programs. It is a stark reminder that an informed citizenry must pay attention to what politicians say, for while it is only rarely true, sometimes it is devastatingly so.

    Great for anyone who wants to know why Hitler thought the way he did.

    As disturbing and dark as the ideas in this book are, we should never be afraid to learn why Hitler thought he was right to what he did. Learning from the past is our only hope in preventing this type of thinking in the future.

    A new and more accurate translation

    There are a number of translations available, but the older translations were hard to read and contained thousands of errors plus many mistranslations.

    This new Ford translation is the most accurate edition and the easiest to read version ever written. Many of the corrections were documented in the book Mein Kampf A Translation Controversy which clearly shows why the Ford translation is a superior translation to older English language versions.

    Is this translation really better than Manheim or the other versions?
    Let's look at some examples and see.

    Here is the original German from a German language Mein Kampf published in 1938:

    Sie beweist höchstens die Kraft der Eroberer und die Schwäche der Dulder.


    Manheim translation: At most it proves the strength of the conqueror and the weakness of the nations.

    Murphy translation: At most, the possession of such territory is a proof of the strength of the conqueror and the weakness of those who submit to him.

    Reynal-Hitchcock translation: It proves at most the might of the conqueror and the weakness of the victim.


    Ford translation: Gaining this territory only proves the might of the conquerors and the weakness of those who tolerate them.



    The German word Dulder technically translates to `sufferer' but here it has only one meaning: a person who tolerates something. Manheim completely mistranslated the passage by using the word nations which is not the meaning here. Hitler often used the same word for race/people/nation but the difference is in the meaning and intent. The wording is also unusual in Manheim's version. The Ford translation is the easiest to understand and the only one that gives the real meaning of the passage. The Manheim translation is simply wrong.



    Here is a GREAT example of the problems with Manheim:


    Original German: Es ist hier nicht meine Aufgabe..(shortened to fit in this review)


    Manheim translation: ??????? MISSING???????????


    Ford translation: It is neither my task nor even my intention to point out the "If" in case the "But" had not been present. I do, however, feel that it is absolutely necessary for us to see the existing conditions as they truly existed, without coloring them, and to point out their terrible weaknesses, if only to deepen the knowledge so the situation may be understood within the ranks of the National-Socialist movement.


    This is one of the passages which were omitted from the Manheim translation.

    Manheim skipped it because the meaning was unclear to him. It is a complex sentnece, however simply leaving it out because you cannot understand it is astonishing.


    Don't be fooled by amateur translators with a German-English dictionary who want to claim a German word means something different from the actual meaning. They fail to understand how to translate properly and think it is as simple as word substitution. A good translation is not based on the most common definition of one word, but on the sentence, the paragraph, even the chapter and especially the intent of the speaker.


    This edition has corrected many errors in older versions and is more well researched than any previous version. I urge you to thumb through the Mein Kampf A Translation Controversy too.

    Highly Recommend

    The guy was a nutter, however much of what he says one can see in the world today. No I am not speaking of the racial nonsense. This is foolish and so clearly in error that it isn't funny. However if you replace race with culture, and look at it from that point of view. Much of what he says is very applicable to today and what is going on right now.

    One should never forget the past, learn from it and move on.

    Interesting

    I am 17 and I went and bought this book because my history teacher was talking to my class about it. I didn't think it would be so interesting just from the beginning itself. I am actually glad I got it even though some people give me some strange faces when I have it. 'To 'learn' history means to seek and find the forces which are the causes leading to those effects which we subsequently perceive as historical events.' - Hitler And with this book, we do just that. You figure out why Hitler did what he did and possible reason's behind it.

    Important Read

    This is one of the books I had on my own "bucket list". It is a remarkable historical book. I find it almost incredible that anyone who read it in the 1920s (and millions did) could not see exactly what he would do when he gained power. Some of his words will raise your blood pressure, and he repeats himself terribly, but I am glad I read it.

    Evil Personified

    Hitler was without a doubt the most evil man alive in his time. While reading his rantings you can see the depth of his insanity and the building strength of his hatred. It's difficult to read and accept the intensity of the vile filth in his mind. Mein Kampf is a good study for criminal justice students when trying to grasp the criminal mind but also for psyc students.

    Second Edition no better than the first

    This is a repackaged version of Michael Ford's weak translation of "Mein Kampf." Most of the many errors in the first edition carry over into this one.

    Great edition and easy to read

    This was a great read. I was not sure if I should even read it but it turned out to be a great book. It was not at all what I was expecting and gave a great insight into Hitler's mind not to mention it was very educational.

    This edition has many additional notes and a great introduction that helps you understand the book. The publisher also provides a supplementary book that explains more about it which helps you understand it even better, understand the history behind it, and it reveals some strange writing styles used. The supplement book also shows how this book was translated and why it is a better version than older editions.

    I know this is a better edition because I compared it to the Manheim translation and what a difference! this one is easy to read and makes sense. The Manheim version is gibberish! I cant see how anyone would even buy Manheim when this edition is clearly superior.

    No matter what you think of Hitler, get this book and you will learn something. You can easily ignore the few anti-Semitic parts if you find those offensive, they are only a tiny part of the book.

    required reading that was very interesting

    We read this book in my Holocaust class in college. At first some of us were a little creeped out by reading the words of Adolf Hitler, but it became very interesting to learn about his warped view of the world. It was clear that he was a dangerous person long before World War II. He had traits of a psychopath early on. But his book is not all vitriol by any means. He does show that he was an educated person, and he could write down his ideas in a catchy way, which was very evident later in his life when he gave speeches that electrified German crowds. He was indeed a madman, but he wasn't dumb, at least not on a booksmarts level. It really is fascinating reading. It definitely left me with a list of traits to avoid in any politician that I ever vote for.
