Hitler wrote his memoirs in captivity after he, as leader of the DAP (a predecessor of the NAZI party) had made a failed coup attempt in 1923 (the 'Bierkellerputsch'). The book was edited by Rudolf Hess and initially published in two parts (1925/1926). After 1933, municipalities were required to purchase the book in order to give a copy at each wedding. More than 5 million copies had already been issued by 1939 and 10 million by 1943.

Inspired by the German geopolitician Dr. Karl Haushofer and the American automaker Henry Ford, this political manifesto is filled with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, 'Blut und Boden', the desire for 'Lebensraum' at the expense of Russia, and glorification of the Germanic race towards of the 'Untermensch' (Jews, Gypsies, Communists, etc.). In the front of the book is a list given of fallen heroes of the 'Putsch' of 1923. Hitler closes with a 'Widmung' to his teacher Dietrich Eckart.
