In His Own Words: The Essential Speeches of Adolf Hitler

Description:

About this item:

The subject of this book hardly needs an introduction. It is doubtful that there is any nation on earth that is not familiar with his colossal and provocative reputation. Adolf Hitler rose from the ranks as an unknown soldier, through the political chaos of the Weimar period, to take command of Germany and embark on a twelve-year odyssey of both great triumphs and great tragedy. Time magazine named him Man of the Year in 1938, but in terms of personal impact on the course of history, he may have been Man of the Century.


In the popular imagination, it is impossible to disassociate the man from his emphatic and passionate public addresses. As a result, Hitler's oratory is often credited with his victory in the competition for political influence in the early years of the NSDAP's struggle for power. And yet, competent translations of many of his influential speeches have largely been neglected, and those that do exist often do not do justice to the original material.


In His Own Words is not only a collection of new and improved translations of some of Hitler's most important speeches, but also includes original research to provide historical context and information about the speeches themselves. While not a complete collection of every speech he ever made-such a collection would span thousands of pages at minimum-the essential speeches translated in this edition will provide the English reader with an unparalleled understanding of how Hitler used his oratory to become the most recognizable political figure of the modern age.


Antelope Hill is proud to present In His Own Words, translated, compiled, and with commentary by C.J. Miller. This work is vital to understanding Adolf Hitler and the twentieth century, and as such it is imperative that it be preserved in the printed word for generations to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book

R.S. · 30 October 2023

The translations are top quality. Each selected speech has a well written and easy to follow "background" presented before it, giving context to the words. And as for the words... well, aren't you curious to know what the man himself actually said? He is arguably the most recognisable European of all time and his words should be available for each man to judge for himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Commentary & Texts

M.S.H. · 1 May 2023

This is a splendid book that provides a selection of key speeches that span Hitler's career. The commentary and introduction to each speech is excellent, and written in a very compelling way. I sincerely hope that C. J. Miller will consider writing a comprehensive history of Hitler - that would be a terrific read!

Inspiring great book

5.0 out of 5 stars Very illuminating

W.S. · 18 December 2022

Due to the passion and bias that one finds in secondary sources on this subject (on both sides), and the incompetence of most translators of this material (where they bother to translate it), Antelope Hill's new translation of a selection of Adolf Hitler's speeches is very welcome. It captures something of Hitler's rhetorical skill, and the short explanations of the context behind each speech helps the reader to understand some of the references within the text. The book's cover art, adapted from a famous painting of the era, is excellent as well.

An amazing tool for studying economic history

I.S. · 29 April 2024

While this is a book containing Adolf Hitlers speeches, it is also an opportunity for you to read the words that reflected the mind of a man embattled with ideological and economic concerns. Hitler was the culmination of his life experiences, as were his colleagues and fellow Germans. This book gives you a glimpse into the social atmosphere at the time and overlay them on to modern times.What becomes clear is that the underlying issues on which politicians argued seem no different than any other time in history. You come to realize through reading that people do not grow as fast as some people want economies to grow. The inevitable imbalance causes suffering, resentment, and opportunity for an individual like Adolf and his network who took power because they appealled to deeply dejected German workers.I think in contrast to modern times, many people feel they can't afford life or even buy a home. It seems the economy is under a tremendous weight, and the battles between left and right are completely polar.This book will show the discerning reader that there are consequences to allowing the passions of ideology to affect what are otherwise righteous and proper concern for people.

Valuable resource for scholars and laymen alike

j. · 10 March 2023

The book is a collection of speeches delivered by Adolf Hitler between 1918 and 1945, providing an insight into his ideology, rhetoric, and political strategies. The speeches are organized chronologically, providing a historical context for the reader to understand the evolution of Hitler's political career.From a literary perspective, the speeches are well-crafted and show Hitler's mastery of oratory skills. His speeches are powerful and emotive, appealing to the nationalist sentiments of his audience. The language is often repetitive, using hyperbole to emphasize the importance of his message, and the tone is often aggressive, reflecting his confrontational approach to politics.From a historical perspective, the book provides a valuable resource for scholars and researchers studying the rise of Nazi Germany. The speeches give insight into the propaganda techniques used by the Nazi regime to mobilize the German population, and they shed light on the ideology that underpinned Hitler's policies.However, it is important to note that the book presents only one side of the story and omits crucial information. The speeches are edited and translated, which can impact the accuracy of the message conveyed. Moreover, the book does not provide a critical analysis of Hitler's beliefs and actions, nor does it contextualize his speeches within the wider political and social developments of the time.In conclusion, "In His Own Words: The Essential Speeches of Adolf Hitler" is a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the rise of Nazi Germany. However, it should be read with caution and in conjunction with other sources to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the historical context and events surrounding Hitler's speeches.

An incredible interesting book for deep thinkers, history buffs, farmers and educators alike.

I greatly enjoyed this book and was well worth the read. This book was done before the World War Two and is very interesting because its not tainted by the war and its aftermath. If you really want to step into German of the 1930s then this is the book for you. It has great insight and should vex both the right and the left of today. Well written and easy to read you may not agree with all the ideas but you may come away with some that have merit!!

Legendary work

B.H. · 3 May 2023

One of the most defining political figures of the 20th century, the words of Adolf Hitler carry as much weight today as they did in 1929. This beautiful compilation by antelope hill publishing is sublime, the print quality is excellent and I can trust the translation to be true.I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in learning why our modern world is what it is
