How to read Hitler

"Neil Gregor introduces the reader to the crude but clear system of thought of the most notorius anti-Semite in history. He shows that Hitler's texts convey an implicitly genocidal message - if they do not necessarily announce mass murder as a stated ambition, they certainly contain it as a strong logical possibility." "Analysing the text as a literary as well as a political work, Neil Gregor shows, in particular, how the radical nationalist and racist messages of Hitler's best known work, Mein Kampf, are included not just in the author's own arguments but in the language and generic forms of the book itself."--BOOK JACKET.
