Why people recommend it
My Struggle by Adolf Hitler is a notorious autobiographical manifesto detailing the political ideology and future plans of the Nazi Party leader. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast in 2022, speaker Alex Story referenced the text while discussing eugenics and flawed scientific thinking, noting that the author was very clear about his extreme views within the work. Separately, on the Lex Fridman Podcast in 2021, the host discussed the broader landscape of historical and political publishing, comparing the widespread commercial availability of collected works by figures like Lenin, Stalin, and Mao in various languages to the historical taboos and restrictions surrounding the publication of certain controversial figures in America. The conversations on these podcasts utilized the mention of such historical texts to examine the darker currents of twentieth-century political thought, the philosophy of publishing censorship, and the ways in which dangerous ideologies were openly communicated to the public long before their catastrophic real-world consequences unfolded on a global scale.
