Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Welcome. To the History Extra podcast. Fascinating historical conversations from the makers of BBC History Magazine. Published a hundred years ago in nineteen twenty five. Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf was one of the most consequential books of the twentieth century.

It laid out Hitler's political ideology and future aspirations. As well as making the Nazi leader a lot of money. In more recent times, the Mein Kampf has continued to influence neo Nazis and anti Semites around the world. And there have been passionate debates over whether it should still be published in the twenty first century.

In this episode Rob Atar speaks to Dr. Lisa Pine, an expert on Nazi Germany. About the history of the book and its dark legacy. Lisa, could we begin with the genesis of Mein Camp? What were the circumstances in which it was written?
