I read Mein Kampf in H.S., not because it was assigned, but rather so that I could educate myself and not go by talking points on a syllabus. What I found was although there were a few stirring quotable quotes, that the book was very repetitive. Hilter was clearly an obsessed nationalist, and raving lunatic... and wrote the same things over and over and over again... it was a bit like saying "Build a wall with a Big Beautifool Door" or "Yes we can!" over and over again. The educated person can see right through it.

The only world leader who read Mein Kampf before WWII was Winston Churchill. That’s how he knew he was dealing with an unstable person.

Even a lot of the top Nazis didn't read Mein Kampf, and Hitler himself reportedly laughed at it and called it "dated". It's an extremely tedious book, and assumes a lot of knowledge about obscure factions of south German and Austrian politics in the teens and twenties.

I am with you. It is a terribly poorly written book based on the few passages I have read. I am going to steel my self again when I spend about two years reading biographies about him.
