Perspective

The book consists of Hitler's views entirely. In many cases, he explains how he arrives at his views and how his philosophies and policies areformulated. This book is written before Hitler becomes a national figure. He has political aspirations at the time but is just beginning his career. Hitler is qualified to write the book because it is based on his own opinions and views. He is not very interested in explaining the policies or views of others.

The book is basically a book of propaganda, even though he does explain how he arrives at many of his positions, many times reaching far back into history to support his positions. Like propaganda, the purpose of this book is to sway public opinion.

Hitler does not reveal much of himself or the facts of his life in the autobiographical section but he does explain where his positions come from...
