«With in-depth studies of Mein Kampf as a genre (an anti-Semitic Bildungsroman), analyses of its context, esthetics, and its religious overtones, this collection of essays illuminates the most lethal and darkest of books. The close readings of Hitler's language of crusade against the enemy and of his prophetic and apocalyptic discourse show how his breviary of hate led to the Holocaust, and how rhetorical violence can become a pathway to mass murder.»

«Hitler’s Mein Kampf and the Holocaust is a very important anthology about one of the most influential books in modern world history, written by Adolf Hitler in 1923/24 during his imprisonment in the small Bavarian town of Landsberg am Lech. After its first appearance in 1925 it was destined to unfold its fatal effect as an ideological manifest of National Socialism. The anthology sheds light on key aspects of the complex history of the impact of Mein Kampf and represents a standard work on this subject.»
