Ralph Manheim, was one of the most highly regarded literary translators of the century. Manheim specialised in translating the work of German authors, such as Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Gunter Grass and Hermann Hesse.
Translated by Ralph Manheim with a new introduction by John Lukacs. A compilation of Hitler's most famous prison writings of 1923--the bible of National Socialism and the blueprint for the Third Reich.
Vitally interesting. . . . It is with sadness, tinged with fear for the world's future, that we read Hitler's hymn of hate against that race which has added so many names to the roll of the great in science, in medicine, in surgery, in music and the arts, in literature and all uplifting human endeavor. -- Books of the Century; New York Times review, October 1933
