Mein Kampf

Book Summary by: Indranil    

Original Author: Adolf Hitler with translation by James Murphy
Hitler is one of the most controversial characters in the history of the world.  Some hate him, and there are a few who still
adore him.  This autobiography originally published in German and later translated to English, tries to bring out the fact that Hitler was indeed born out of destiny, and was not an evel psycho as he is believed to be because of the simple fact that a psycho or insane individual can never rule a country, pull the country out of the economic crisis, and have an entire country believe that he was God.
This book describes the utter poverty in which Hitler was brought up and how he hated democracy as a domain for selfish politicians.
This book goes further into the details of rise of Hitler as the ruler of Germany, his initial political years, his fiery speeches, his opinion about the Jews, and his dream to make the world free from the non-aryan human beings.
The book further to describe the other sides of Adolf Hitler, like he was a vegetarian, his mistress for many years Eva Brown, whom he married just before their death, and his love for dogs.  His favorite dog was a German Shepherd named Blondie.
The later part of the book gives an account of the defeat of the Germans at the hands of the Russians, about Hitler's fear of him getting captured by the Russians, and finally of his suicide by first giving cyanide pills to his favourit pet dogs, then to Eva Brown, his fiancee for long but newly married bride, and finally of killing himself with a gunshot.  It also gives an account of Hitler's last orders to destroy his and his wife's body and under any circumstances not let them fall into the Russian hands.
This book has lot to learn from.  It reveals the fact that Hitler had a grand plan to make a new world order that is even today full of controversies.
A must have book for readers of biographies and lovers of history.
