Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") is a two-volume book written by Adolf Hitler, first published in 1925 and 1926. It serves as an autobiographical account of his life up to that point and a statement of his political views. The text details his thoughts on Germany’s challenges following World War I, his belief in the superiority of the "Aryan" race, and his opposition to Judaism, communism, and liberal democracy. It also lays out his ideas for Germany’s future, including territorial expansion and the creation of a unified national state. Written while he was imprisoned after a failed political uprising in 1923, the book became a key text for the National Socialist movement. Its influence grew significantly after Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, though its reception and legal status have varied widely since then.
