"a press, the contents of which is adapted to the mental horizon of people with the lowest education. . . Its task is not to lead the people from the swamp of base mentality to a higher level, but rather to meet their lowest instincts." (446)"the great masses, out of stupidity or simplicity, usually believe everything." (447)"For they are not only cowards, but also incompetents and sluggards. A man who knows a thing, who realizes a given danger, and who sees with his eyes the possibility of a remedy, has the damned duty and obligation to work, not in 'silence,' but to stand up publicly against the evil and for its remedy. If he does not do so, then he is a disloyal, miserable weakling who fails either because of cowardice or because of laziness and inability." (504)
A unique perspective from a huge memory of history. I don't care for what reason you wish to read or collect this book. I read it for historical and timepiece fascination, as well as to better understand the power and lure of his charisma. Regardless of personal feelings, this IS our History and there is much here from which we have and may continue to learn. Happy Reading!
This is the Houghton Mifflin first US Impression/printing of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kamp from 1939, printed in English and fully annotated.The book contains some underlining and writing in the marginsall in pencil.
I personally wrote the notes to help inspirethoughts and to remember the text better. They could always be erased. I studiedand taught philosophy so the notes are usually very discussion-,argumentative-, and logic-related. I ask a lot of questions, it's just what I do. In the perpetual pursuit of Wisdom, questions are the key to Transcendence.
Aside from the notes and underlining all in pencil, the book binding is fairly strong and has been reinforced with a piece of book binding clear tape on the back cover to reduce wear.
All pages included and the pages are holding strong to the binding. No missing pages or censored portions.
This is from my personal collection. I read it all the way through just once. This is a one-owner item. I could probably list it as Good condition but I would rather undersell than oversell my products.
I take pride in the listing description and qualitycondition of my products.
If it matters, it's coming from a smoke-free, pet-freehome.
