I’ve read the Murphy translation and according to Wikipedia it was the only translation approved by Nazi Germany. So if it was good for them I guess should be good for us. Although there have been controversial translations where the translator deliberately left-out some of the more anti-Semitic statements (Alan Cranston translation). But even that would make the book more bearable, not worsen it.<p>I think the book is badly written because the guy was so full of anger. If you take it at face value the book is a road-map of all the monstrosities that happened once the Nazi party took the power. Every atrocity that took place, from the Holocaust to invading half of Europe and especially the severity of their attacks against Russia is more or less mentioned in the book.<p>For me the $64.000 question is why leaders of the era weren&#x27;t alarmed from the writings. Haven&#x27;t they read the book? They didn&#x27;t take it at face value? The book was written 15 years before the war erupted. They&#x27;d surely have time to prevent it. And then nothing happened.
