Synopsis "mein kampf - the ford translation"

For the first time in 65 years, a modern, easy to understand, truly complete, accurate and uncensored edition of Mein Kampf has been released which reveals more than any past translation. Older translations altered passages, omitted passages, mistranslated Hitler's words, made some parts more sensational while concealing the true meaning in other parts of the book. If you have read one of these older translations of Mein Kampf, then you have not read the REAL Mein Kampf which is found only in this new special edition hardcover Ford Translation. Mein Kampf is often portrayed as nothing more than an Anti-Semitic work, however only 6% of it even talks about the Jews. The rest contains Hitler's ideas and beliefs for a greater nation plus his plan on how to accomplish that goal. The majority of the work involves Hitler's discussion of the German people's difficult times after the First World War, his political theories and his organization of the Nazi Party, as well as many attacks against his enemies which makes it a very interesting and moving story. Mein Kampf offers an interesting interpretation of politics, people, and foreign policy matters. To characterize it as simply a racist work is to oversimplify its message. Germany did not follow Hitler because he was a racist, they followed him because he promised a great future, and Mein Kampf is where he promised that great future. This Ford Translation offers: The most accurate translation ever produced. Phrases that are translated with precision and with no translator's bias. Uncommon words are replaced with more common and more meaningful terms. Any references to unfamiliar people, or places are explained in the text. This version is complete with all original passages and references restored, including passages omitted from other popular versions and passages censored by the Nazi government during the print history of the book. **This translation has corrected over 1000 errors which were present in past translations.** No English reader has been able to appreciate these subtleties in any previous English translation, not until the Ford Translation. This hardback version is also available in an audio format. Get your copy now and find out what deep desires truly drove Hitler.

Adolf Hitler (Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, April 20, 1889 - Berlin, Germany, April 30, 1945) was the leader of the Nazi movement and eventually became the dictator of Germany. He gained power and popularity during the years of the Great Depression thanks to his propagandistic oratory until he rose as the ultimate political leader during the Third Reich.

The expansionist cravings of the Führer were the cause of the start of World War II with the invasion of Poland. Along with other Axis powers, such as Mussolini's Italy, he annexed much of Europe and North Africa. His racism and antisemitism led him to order terrible ethnic cleansings in concentration and extermination camps like Auschwitz in what is known as the Holocaust. Although several assassination attempts were made against Hitler, it would take his suicide in his bunker, when the Soviet troops took Berlin in 1945 and Germany conceded defeat in World War II.
