Adolf Hitler's autobiography and political manifest. Offered for sale here is the soft cover edition in two books. Usually "I. Band & II.Band" (volume one and two) were bound together in one volume in the hardcover "Volksausgabe", "Hochzeitsausgabe" and "Tornisterausgabe", published by Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher, Nachf. in Munich, Germany. Hitler dictated this book to his secretary, Rudolf Hess while imprisoned in Landsberg after the failed 1923 revolution. The first editions (1925 and 1926) were only "Band I" (volume one), "Band II" (volume two) was first published in December 1926! All the "official" Third Reich copies (1933 to 1945) contained both volumes combined in one book.The original title Hitler chose was "Viereinhalb Jahre [des Kampfes] gegen Lüge, Dummheit und Feigheit" (Four and a Half Years [of Struggle] against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice). His Nazi publisher, Max Amann, decided this title was too complicated and had it shortened to Mein Kampf (simply "My Struggle"). Before Hitler became Reich Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Mein Kampf sold very slowly; but in 1933 alone 1.5 million copies were sold.
