Hitler's book surrounded by myths. What is the reality behind it, how was it received, and what impact did it have? Everyone knows its title, but almost no one knows its content.
Sven Felix Kellerhoff's work, based on reliable and authentic sources, analyzes all aspects, from the creation of Mein Kampf - from Munich in the first half of the twenties - to the debates surrounding the ban, with important and intriguing information, as well as factual analysis formulated with indisputable logic.
Did the Führer's "work" really contain a political program, which Hitler implemented step by step after taking power, or was it a propaganda publication of a small man struggling with self-esteem problems, which deceived the masses and, with this tool, gained world domination in an irrational way?
How did the book affect contemporary readers? What reactions did it cause abroad? How much did the party leader earn with him, and was he motivated by professionalism or a desire to make money? Why was the Zweites Buch (Second Book) sequel not published?
In addition to answering these questions, Kellerhoff deals with a number of popular and also false myths, and even exposes Hitler's deliberately false image of himself, and instead presents the true story of an ordinary tax cheat. On this so far swampy ground, we can get to know the real story of Mein Kampf's "career" and the true character of its author.
