"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a
big lie than to a small one." Adolf Hitler The officially
sanctioned English language edition of 'Mein Kampf' was translated
and introduced by James Murphy. The edition using his translation
was first published as a two volume set in the UK in 1939 and also
in 22 weekly parts by Hutchison and Co Ltd. This authentic
paperback brings together both of the original volumes complete
with Murphy's 1939 introduction and a new introduction by Emmy
Awardtm winning historian Bob Carruthers. Murphy's was the only
translation which was officially endorsed by the Nazi party during
Hitler's lifetime and as such represents an opportunity to approach
the work as it was presented to contemporary readers. This was the
version of 'Mein Kampf' which the Nazi party hoped would spread the
gospel of National Socialism throughout the UK, but by the time
publication was underway World War II had commenced. Somewhat
surprisingly, publication of the weekly illustrated edition was
allowed to continue although all proceeds from the sale were
diverted to the British Red Cross. This new publication of the
entire primary source provides the reader with access to the
complete historical document and provides a unique insight into the
past by reproducing 'Mein Kampf' as it was presented to British
readers in the thirties.
