Its hard to say -- I would read it just for the information and another insight to this CREEP of a "man ?"

It does make one think of how a lot of others would interpret it as there are STILL many Nazis around today, sadly!

A hard question Leon...I feel conflicted. The world is full of madness so undoubtedly it will influence those with a predilection toward extremism. On the one hand I would like to see Mein Kampf banished forever but in the interest of history it perhaps should be released. Yep, conflicted.....will be interested to see what others think.

Quietly wondering what the scholarly commentary, corrections and contextual changes would entail, but to be honest wouldn't mind reading 'Mein Kampf'  if only to gain insights into the mind of this raving nutjob Hitler....and over the years have looked for it in public libraries and didn't actually realise it was out of print...

Similarly there have been advances in criminal psychology, psychiatry, sociology  and understanding of historical contexts over the intervening 90 years or so  that may hint to reasons and offer up explanations as to how Hitler was shaped, gained and maintained power - apart from what is already out there....

Thus believe a broad vigorous 21st century public critique of his ravings may reveal early warning signs about how to arrest the development and evolution and perhaps treatment of Hitler type monsters at a much earlier age...

Also wondering what medicalised, psychiatricatised (not sure if that's a real word or not) label or combinations of labels would be assigned to Hitler i.e. borderline personality/rampant narcissist/egomania - dunno -  but think there would be a helluva lot to mull over with a Hitler personality type....

I for one will not be buying it.

I started to read it many years ago but it did not hold my attention back then, possibly wouldn't now. No more than the Bible or Koran does now or then.

Books in themselves are not inherently dangerous, it is the interpretations that people take away fom them. And they are many and varied, usually to justify their own actions.

There have been people of unsound mind and dubious motives writing books for most of the history of print and they will continue to do so.

It be the way of things.

Take it easy.

I do not believe  extremenism .... everything in moderation.

Especially moderation ! :-)

Of course the book should be published , it was the Nazi's and communists  that burned and banned books not a Liberal Democrasy. 

Like many students at my Uni, same one that Stephen Fry went to, Mein Kemph was the "in" book at one stage, even attended discussion evenings, doubt whether I would find it so interesting now. However, it's one of those books that will remain in history and republishing it is not a problem, but the danger lies in it being used as a tool by the hundreds of Nazi types still in Europe. Just the sort of book they'd use as in incentive to cause trouble.

maybe just released to libraries and not generel public would be the way,     most of these morons with the brains of a scarecrow would not go to libreries  ,,    but it could be there for for those who would like an insight into the mans thinking,     i personaly would read it,   so would hubby,    who is interested in these things,    if only to see what the mind of a madman was like,
