Title: You don't need to read this book!
Review: ....Historians should read Shirer's biography or "Rise andFall of the Third Reich". The problem with this whole"Hitler in his own words" thing is that this isn't an organized manifesto at all. It doesn't even qualify as a decent rant. It reads like what it is, a transcribed series of demented monologes dictated by *der Adolf* while he was cooling his heels in jail after the failed Munich *putsch*. Sure it's all in there, the Holocaust, the war, the whole schmeer, but who can wade through the morass of turgid prose to find it? Who would want to? Imagine reading a transcript of fifty drunken, disjointed, endless *speils* by your racist old uncle against Jews, bankers, Communists and whoever else he had decided to hate that day. That's what it's like--no, it's worse, imagine if the transcript had been translated from German.Whatever your reasons for wanting to read "Mein Kampf", there are better uses for your time.
