Hitler's Second Book

"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.
