Mein Kampf Unexpurgated Edition (1939) By Adolf Hitler
 
An exceptionally rare pre-WWII British Translation Of Mein Kampf (My Struggle) by Adolf Hitler.
 
An unexpurgated edition & profusely illustrated and published by Hutchinson & Co (Publishers) Ltd. 
 
Hitler originally published his book in German in 1925. There was little, if any, interest in Mein Kampf outside the country as he was an unknown Bavarian fringe candidate. When he unexpectedly vaulted to power in January 1933, European publishers rushed to obtain the contract to translate his work and publish it in other countries. 
 
Because the German Mein Kampf was so telling about the coming war and atrocities he would inflict on the French, the Soviet, and most of all the Jewish people, Adolf Hitler was hesitant to allow any translations or publishing rights in different countries. As most of you know, Hitler fought bravely during the entire four years of the Great War, and he was wounded twice. During that time, as he later recounts in Mein Kampf, Hitler became convinced the French rather than the British were his true western enemies. In fact, during the first three years of his chancellorship, Hitler tried repeatedly to secure a military alliance with England so they could help him destroy France, or at least stand by while Hitler obtained his sweet revenge for Germany's humiliation at the Versailles peace treaty. 
 
This Mein Kampf is in great condition and illustrated with photographs throughout the 584 pages. This is a very rare edition published by Hutchinson & Co (Publishers) Ltd in association with Hurst & Blackett Ltd, Publishers, London.
 
In March 1939, Hurst and Blackett/Hutchinson published the first British unexpurgated version of Mein Kampf. By August 32,000 copies had been sold, and they continued to be printed until the presses were destroyed by a German air raid in 1942. A new American version subsequently became the standard translation.
