Mein Kampf is a highly debated autobiography of one of history’s most chided characters - Adolf Hitler. The book blatantly displays his extreme beliefs and the disconcertingly mighty persona of the man who was the main reason for humanity’s most horrendous genocide. This book includes a DVD of the internationally acclaimed film Hitler: A Career, by Joachim C. Fest and Christian Herrendoerfer. Summary of the Book Adolf Hitler exposes his inconceivable personality to the world in his autobiography, Mein Kampf. He confidently unravels the growth of a character from being an artist to the noxious decimator of all times. Hitler had a troubled childhood. The unpredicted events in his life during the First World War and post war made him participate hostilely with socialist political groups. He was even jailed during one of the futile efforts made in taking over the Bavarian government, and it was then he wrote a personal manifesto, choking with vengeful gushes against communism and Jewish people. This hatred eventually became the prototypical foundation of his apocalyptic ideas of horryfying genocide and an unreasonable mania with Aryan sovereignty. His spitefully imposing plans of bringing back Europe together and creating Germany as the definitive leader have been put forth in this book, which clearly morphed him steadily into an indomitable dictator. Mein Kampf remains to be one of the most controversial autobiographies written, which itself, perhaps might be a reason for its fame. About Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler is arguably one of humanity’s most detested personalities for the unimaginable extent of damage he caused to the sentiments of an entire generation. His rise as the head of the National Socialist German Workers Party after a series of events in his life that was mainly influenced by socialism and abhorrence against communism, culminated in him becoming a fanatical leader and ultimately a megalomaniac killer of the Jews. The pathetic consequences of the First World War on Germany influenced the fervent nationalism in Hitler even more, thus resulting in the foundation of the Nazi Party. Remembered for humanity’s greatest genocidal incident, the Holocaust, Hitler’s irrational ideologies and policies further aggravated the outcome of the World War II. He died in 1945 in Berlin which eventually marked the end of a heinous chapter in the history of the world.
