Description - How to Read: Hitler by Neil Gregor

Neil Gregor introduces the reader to the crude but clear system of thought of the most notorious anti-Semite in history. He shows that for all Hitler's inadequacies as a writer, his texts do convey an implicitly genocidal message - if they do not necessarily announce murder as a stated ambition, they certainly contain it as a strong logical possibility.

Analysing the text as literary as well as political tract, Neil Gregor shows, in particular, how the radical nationalist and racist message of Hitler's best known work, Mein Kampf, are contained not just in the author's own arguments but in the language and generic forms of the book itself.

Extracts are taken from Mein Kampf and from The Second Book.
