Title
MEIN KAMPF
By Adolf Hitler. Earlier this year, this title was legitimately available to seel in Germany, having been prohibited since WWII. The print run sold out on the first day. Mein Kampf was first published in two volumes in 1925-6 and sold eight million copies during Hitler’s lifetime as well as being widely translated. It continues to sell regularly from our shelves. It is the most notorious political tract of the 20th century, a mixture of unreliable autobiography and half-baked political philosophy which brought tragedy to Germany and the world. It is an evil book, applies for those who seek to understand the Holocaust, totalitarian psychology and for those who care to safeguard democracy. #52544 PB JUST $49.95
