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 organisation 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 characterise 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.
