really people? it's a historic document, and a damn important one too considering what hitler went on to do... why are people not allowed to recommend a book of such historical significance? what about the other side of the spectrum? are we not allowed to recommend the 'communist manifesto'? how about plato's 'republic'? or more modern works like anything by chomsky? all these have huge groups of people who detest the meaning in them. recommending a book comes down to what you think will enrich someone intellectually, thats what non fiction books are supposed to do, knowledge is power, you don't have to agree with the ideology or the sentiment in the specific book... looking at the acts of the third reich, or the u.s. foreign policy, or stalin's russia, or choose any oppressive regime in history, without also reading the other side of the story is naive at best, blind and ignorant at worst. i have read mein kampf and yes i would recommend it to EVERYONE who is interested in history, and i despise hitler more than probably most of you in here as someone who's country was taken over by him and destroyed, and my grandparents suffered hugely as well as my parents who grew up in the post-occupation. get a grip.
