1925 autobiographical book "My Struggle" (USA: "My Battle") by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler

Review of 'Mein Kampf' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

This was essentially what I pictured, based on what else I've read. Idealized self-aggrandizement, with a literal breakdown of everything he was planning on. I can't say I'm happy I read even what I did (Hitler did not make the 100 page/25% cut I practice), but even so, at least the contrast between how he saw himself (or at least how he chose to portray himself in this piece of calculated propaganda) and what a more neutral biography saw might be useful.
