Interesting.

I like that it will be "heavily annotated to expose the "lies, half-truths and vicious tirades,"

I admit, I might have to take a read.

I've had it a long time, but never gotten around to reading it.

Not under US copyright. Dunno what Germany is. War's been and gone, most vets dead of old age, but copyright continues...

On January 1, 2016 one of the most infamous books of the 20th century, Mein Kampf, will go into the public domain and will be published in Germany for the first time in 70 years. German media professor Nikolaus Peifer explains to Bob how Germans are trying to manage and contextualize the book’s release in order to minimalize its impact.

That did not happen.....

It's been available in free nations for a long time.

Wonder what a 1st edition would be worth nowadays?

Neinthousand dollars.

There's an old post I saw where a signed copy sold for $65K.

No shit.
This has more to do with it being printed in Germany AND the annotations.

It has four stars. Must be a good read.

Silly and patronizing, but Germany isn't really a free nation where it pertains to talking about the holocaust and nazisim which is, ironically, its own form of oppression: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_against_Holocaust_denial#Germany

Yeah but those stars don't count, since they only have 5 points.

I tried to read it once. Tis an awful book, written like you'd expect. I suspect that the Germans of the day didn't read it either, just gave copies as presents sort of like the bible or qur'an.

Your math is defective. Hitler died in the 1960's...in Argentina.

You seem to think Mark Zuckerburg is reading your posts for advice, so

:biggrin:

Summoning four demons at once is nothing to laugh at.
