Mein Kampf - Adolf Hitler

Mein Kampf - Adolf Hitler, Hardback, Rare Book. Translated and annotated by James Murphy, Unexpurgated Edition, Los Angeles: Angriff Press, pp384, dust jacket and wrapper, new.

The author might be dead, but his work is certainly not out-of-date. You need to read this book when you study your History of World War Two.

As years gone by, this kind of guidebook became larger and larger (due to more roads and highways being built) and its pages have color maps and advertisements.

The size of this issue is almost that of a coffee table book.
