N015577 "MEIN KAMPF BOOK. (Buch)

BACKGROUND: Written while Hitler was in Landsberg prison after the abortive 1923 Munich "Putsch" (revolt or coup d’état), "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle) was originally published in two volumes, the first in 1925, and the second in 1927. The original title for the first volume was to be "4 1/2 Jahre Kampf gegen Lüge, Dummheit und Feigheit" (4 1/2 Year Struggle against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice) but the publisher shortened it to "Mein Kampf." When the two volumes were printed as one, starting in 1930, the first volume retained its subtitle, "Eine Abrechnung" (An Accounting) and outlined his ideology of racial nationalism. The second volume, entitled "Die nationalsozialistische Bewegung" (The national-socialist Movement), developed these theories and those of national self-sufficiency and economic independence. Considered the bible of National Socialism, its sales made Hitler a millionaire.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: A soft cover book measuring approximately 11cm x 17cm that consists of a dark red, cloth cover that is embossed in gold "Mein Kampf" to the front, as well as the title and author name to the spine. The book consists of 784 pages to which the first page has a Library stamp for the Staatliches Studienseminar Strassburg (Strasbourg State Study Seminar) that is dated for 1942. Facing the title page is a sepia-toned, head and shoulders portrait photograph of Hitler, with his facsimile signature beneath with a protective sheet of onionskin covering the image. This edition was published in 1942 by the "Zentralverlag der NSDAP. Fr[an]z. Eher Nachf., München," The book shows light usage and wear.
