About This Item
New York City: Stackpole Sons Publishers. Good with no dust jacket. 1939. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. "For thirteen years Adolf Hitler has prevented publication of an uncensored, unabridged edition of Mein Kampf outside Germany, in English. With the appearance of this volume, Hitler's censorship ends, and the work which Dorothy Thompson calls 'Hitler's blueprint of world conquest' is at last available to readers everywhere." - dust jacket. "The Stackpole edition was translated and printed between December 1938 and February 1939. Houghton Mifflin, which believed Stackpole to be violating its copyright, sought and obtained an injunction against Stackpole on 9 June 1939. By that time, only 12,000 copies of the Stackpole edition had been sold. It remains a rare and valuable artifact." - Wikipedia.
