Title: The Awful Power of Ridiculous Ideas
Review: When we think of Hitler today, it is hard not to see him as the man who led a nation to the brink of globe-spanning power and demographic revolution. The Hitler who wrote Mein Kampf was not yet a grand figure, but a rather pathetic racist demagouge who lacked an education, a knowledge of history, and any well-formed, decent ideas. By all means, read this book if you are interested in the modern history of Europe, but understand that this is not the work of a man who knew much about what he attempts to describe. Influenced not by reason and truth, but by absurd racial philosophy, Mein Kampf is terrifyingly devoid of clarity. That it became a holy book of a national movement for twenty years is a testimony to the unholy persuasive powers of the author and to the dreadful pathology of his age.
