If one were to read Mein Kampf, one would find himself agreeing with "almost everything" as well. That's why it's banned so many places, lol.
It isn't above criticism though. It's definitely inspired, but it's mainly an essay of opinion. Seems mostly historically accurate, but I'd actually like to find someone "fact checking" Hitler's version of history. Worth reading for historical perspective no matter what.
To be honest I don't know anything about the editions. It's in the public domain, so they SHOULD be fine I suppose. I got mine in a used book store and it's from the 80's. I need an old German version for comparison of the key points and seeing how they are translated. I don't know German, but comparative analysis is pretty easy for short excerpts regardless of what you are going between.
I see. I guess I cannot go wrong with Unabridged Version assuming the translator stayed true. I decided to go with that Unabridged book. I probably don't need German version unless I found someone close who is German.

I'm interested in buying Mein Kamphf. I think this might be the right book. What edition do you have?
https://www.amazon.ca/Mein-Kampf-Official-Unabridged-Version/dp/1545567158/
PS: I'm going to sell Anna Frank hard cover I have.

you can find it in the internet, as pdf.... (but I guess just german language). It's also openly sold in India I have heard.

Looks good but find a cheaper version. Anyone can print it and a $5 copy is no different than this $35 version.

It's highly unlikely they would be able to edit or translate out the thrust of the book. I was more just commenting in case you were a stickler.
