Mein Kampf is book by Adolf Hitler which means ‘My Struggle’. This book was published in 2 volumes, 1st in 1925 and 2nd isn 1926.
Hitler began the dictation of the book while imprisoned for what he considered to be “political crimes” after his failed revolution in Munich in November 1923. Though Hitler received many visitors earlier on, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. As he continued, Hitler realized that it would have to be a two-volume work, with the first volume scheduled for release in early 1925. The prison governor of Landsberg noted at the time that “he [Hitler] hopes the book will run into many editions, thus enabling him to fulfill his financial obligations and to defray the expenses incurred at the time of his trial.”
