The historical truth of this book
After reading the reviews of this book I think serious history buffs need to know the history, the facts of this book. Weinberg discovered the original manuscript while working with captured war documents in Wash. D.C. after the war. It was published in German by Bavaria who owned the copyright to such things in 1961 with Weinbergs notes and introduction. Grove Press with Telford Taylor pirated it and issued a very poor translation and even used Weinbergs notes. Put the 2 books together and you will see that. That book quickly bombed as scholars and serious history buffs recognized the poor translation. Weinberg's Hitler's Second Book is a top notched translation of Hitler's words and contain well researched notes and introduction by Weinberg and this edition is being used by schools and Universities ---the pirated edition never was. Thus far, Bavaria has not given anyone or any country permission to translate this manuscript besides Weinberg. If one wants to compare this...

Product Description
"Provides a valuable insight into the development of ideas that were to shape Hitler’s foreign policy after 1933."Jeremy Noakes, The Times Literary Supplement
The text bears all of Hitler’s hallmarks, along with a terrifying, sustained belief in war and violence as a means to ensure that Germany would flourish.”Publishers Weekly
He envisaged the German people becoming involved in a series of wars for Lebensraum culminating in an epic battle against America.”Michael Smith, Daily Telegraph
The Second Book is in many ways more important than Mein Kampf.”Guardian
I have never known anyone to say this is a forged document.”Volker Berghahn, The New York Times
Hitler admires the young, racially select’ American people and the nation’s restrictive immigration policies at the time.”The New York Times
Far more than Mein Kampf, the Second Book establishes the grandiose scale of Hitler’s ambitions.”Dennis Showalter, Colorado College
More clearly than ever, Hitler sketched out the worldwide struggle against the Jews which he and his party had to lead.”Richard Overy, Guardian
Hitler’s Second Book is the first complete and annotated edition of the manuscript Hitler dictated shortly before his rise to power four year after publishing Mein Kampf. It contains a catalog of shocking policy statements and previously undisclosed plans of world conquest at the core of Nazi ideology that Hitler concluded were too provocative for publication.
MEIN FLOPF
It was apparently in 1961 that a book alleged to be the second literary effort of Hitler was published in Munich. I recall seeing a very small news item around then to that effect in one of the British papers, and I recall the statement in that same item that the work had achieved no significant sales. As it started, so it seems to have continued. It surprises me still that a document of so much historical significance has had to wait more than 40 years for its first English edition, and I naturally wondered whether it could really be genuine under the circumstances. Apparently it is, but it still seems to be avoiding the best-seller lists, and I can't recall a great deal of critical discussion of it either. Nothing that I have seen has cast doubt on the work's authenticity, which I am therefore taking on trust. In attempting a review I am mainly concerned with the actual content of the volume. However in awarding a rating I have given regard only to the editorial work, and I imagine...

A important historical document
This book is intersting in the sense that it helps us understand better the views of Hitler in the way of foreign policy, especially towards the United States. Altough the book was published in french in the 1960's as L'Expansion du Reich, this edition offers great footnotes by Gerhard L. Weinberg that help us better understand the historical elements developped by Hitler in his manuscript.While this book might not appeal to the general public, it is defenetly worth purchasing for people intersted in the history of fascism, nazism, Hitler (see also Hitler by Kershaw) or Germany.
