Mein Kampf

Mein Kampf is the autobiography of Adolf Hitler. The word is a German word and it means- “My Struggle”.
This was the book which took me longest time to read. No doubt it’s a bit painstaking to continue reading this book. At times you will tend to loose interest and think of read a later. But if discontinued it will be harder to read the book. In the starting I found book really interesting, but slowly-slowly I did not find much interest in the book. Though I never felt bored while reading this.
The book has two volumes and I found volume two more appealing then the first one.
The book contains various statements which are worth pondering and debating. The way Hitler has interpreted the situation and understood is really appreciable.
Hitler thought of various names for the book but then he finally decided on Mein Kampf. He wrote the book while in imprisonment in 1924 and in this book he has encompassed his life from childhood, his struggles, his political view and his learning from life as yet.
The book presents a deeper look into the history of Germany and the world from 1918-1923. The book reveals a lot about Hitler, his thinking, his philosophy for life. Hitler was a racist and a true national. I ever in my life as yet don’t know a person as patriotic as Hitler.
No doubt after reading the book you develop a soft corner for Hitler. He from childhood was having an artistic mindset and was not violent. But the struggles he faced in life, the ruling by Jews on Germany and the vulnerable attitude of Germans made him take violent step against Jews. The time he wrote this book he was in the process of making his party, and arising in Germans the need for war against Jews for preservation of their country and their race. Nazi party is no where described in this book.
Hitler was very intelligent and life taught him a lot. He was a brilliant orator and his philosophy by large could be well accepted by people.
Though there were some criticism for the book itself and he was criticized for getting racist in his views and approach.
There is also a sequel to Mein Kampf, named “Zweites Buch” (Second Book) which never got into public domain.
Overall its good reading, just you need to maintain your interest. Personally I liked the book and would like to read it all again.
