Mein Kampf (English translation: My Struggle, My Battle or My Fight) is the signature work of Adolf Hitler, combining elements of autobiography with an exposition of Hitler's political ideology of Nazism.

Mein Kampf is German for (I think) "My Head" or loosely, "My thoughts". It was written by Hitler I think while he was in Jail in the 1920's. It contains alot of the basic ideas which became Naziism at that time. It was the Hitler Equivalent of "Thoughts of Mao" by Mao-Tse Tung in China not long after that.

You mean besides the obvious? Like, it is totally racist, blames the Jews for all the problems in the world including having to stand on line at the DMV, and was the blueprint for Nazi terror?
Anything else you need can be found in the book itself--if you can stomach it! I got about 10 pages into it and I wanted to burn it. I did throw it out and took a shower afterwards. I had to read other things I enjoy to wash the foul taste out of my mind.
Bottom line: Racist bullshit.

It was written by Hitler while he was imprisoned. He determined his course for taking over power in Germany in that book and then acted on it.

hey yeah sure
here what i know
but its a bit long
but its better than reading the book it self
so here we go
it was written by adolf hitler
and it was written in 1923-1924
in his cell in prison
but he didnt get a type machine and started writting
the one actually wrote down the thoughts of hilter
is rudolph hess...
and this book is more about hitler his youth, early days in the Nazi Party, future plans for Germany, and ideas on politics and race.
Hitler first named the book "Vier und eine Halbjahre von Kampf gegen Lügen, Dummheit und Feigheit: meaning
"Four and a Half Years of Struggle against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice." but the nazi publisher knew books shouldnt have such along name and named it "Mein Kampf," meaning "my battle"
and in the book
hitler divides humans into categories based on physical appearance,
establishing higher and lower orders,
or types of humans. at the top, according to hitler, is the germanic man with his fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes.
Hitler refers to this type of person as an aryan.
he asserts that the aryan is the supreme form of human, or master race.
and so it follows in hitler's thinking, if there is a supreme form of human, then there must be others less than supreme, the untermenschen, or racially inferior.
hitler assigns this position to Jews and the slavic peoples, notably the czechs, poles, and russians.
the books is all about nazi's philosphy
by no means believes in an equality of races,
but along with their difference it recognizes their higher or lesser value and feels itself obligated to promote the victory of the better and stronger, and demand the subordination of the inferior and weaker in accordance with the eternal will that dominates this universe
or thats how hitler stated it in the book as he also stated that aryan is also culturally superior
but it is the jews,
hitler says, who are engaged in a conspiracy to keep this master race from assuming its rightful position as rulers of the world, by tainting its racial and cultural purity and even inventing forms of government in which the aryan comes to believe in equality and fails to recognize his racial superiority.
but hitler describes the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between aryans and jews.
he outlines his thoughts in detail, accusing the jews of conducting an international conspiracy to control world finances, controlling the press, inventing liberal democracy as wells as marxism, promoting prostitution and vice, and using culture to spread disharmony.
^Mein Kampf^ also provides an explanation for the military conquests later attempted by hitler and the germans.
hitler stated that since the aryans are the master race,
they are entitled simply by that fact to acquire more land for themselves. this lebensraum, or living space,
will be acquired by force, Hitler says, and includes the lands to the east of germany, namely russia.
that land would be used to cultivate food and to provide room for the expanding aryan population at the expense of the slavic peoples, who were to be removed, eliminated, or enslaved.
but in order to achieve this hitler stated
deutchland must first defeat its old enemy france,
to avenge the german defeat of world war i
and to secure the western border.
hitler bitterly recalls the end of the first world war,
saying the german army was denied its chance for victory on the battlefield by political treachery at home.
In the 2nd V of ^Mein Kampf^
he attaches most of the blame to jewish conspirators in a highly menacing and ever more threatening tone.
when the book was first released in 1925 here in deutschland
it sold poorly.
as people had been hoping for a juicy autobiography or a behind-the-scenes story of the beer hall putsch. what they got were hundreds of pages of long, hard to follow sentences and wandering paragraphs composed by a self-educated man.
however,
after hitler became chancellor of germany,
millions of copies were sold. it was considered proper to own a copy and to give one to newlyweds,
high school graduates, or to celebrate any similar occasion.
but few germans ever read it cover to cover.
although it made him rich,
hitler would later express regret that he produced ^Mein Kampf^, considering the extent of its revelations.
even though so far its in our history classes
and one should know all about that book
it's considered as on of the most important books
that ever been published in the german history of books salesmant
even i know much about the book i really didn't like it that much
so i prefer that you read what i wrote
than reading the book it self
i had to read it to do homework for the class
so i wrote everything i knew about the book
hope i did good :)
take care and have fun
bbye
