Hitler:MeinKampf

Abstract

Mein Kampf is a two‐volume book written by the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler during his stay in 1924 in Landsberg Prison for the crime of high treason. The book, which is filled with autobiographical anecdotes, political propaganda, and antisemitic speech, helped provide the support needed for the Nazi party to gain political control of the German state leading up to World War II. The book was also a financial success, netting Hitler and the party millions, while inciting violence due to its nationalist depiction of, and answer to, the “Jewish Question.”
