Re: Mein Kampf
No books will ever express the true feelings of living under Hitler and his regime.
On one hand, he only tried to do (in a very drastic manner obviously) what some of todays politicians are trying to do, how many religios and race related wars have we had since WW2? Just because they do not hit us as hard doesnt mean that they dont exist. Have a look at the cival wars going on, and in fact 'good old Saddam'.
On the other, you have people that live and work for the place that is called home, under a leader that you do not necessarily agree with but are powerless to do anything about. Talk to the 'normal' Germans about WW2 and they will give you a better idea of what was going on and the immense guilt that is still felt about the behaviour in those times.
Books are all well and good, but they are individuals take on things, and as we all know, we can see the same event differently and have a different opinion about it
