Now someone (maybe Rudey) correct me if I'm worng, but I'd always understood that Mein Kampf' wasn't exactly readily available to the general populace in Turkey and many places outside of the "western world".

Personally I'm somewhat concerned that Hitler's book is reaching an audience that won't know or understand the context of his rantings or what this book ultimately produced.
I agree - I've heard of dozens of books which reached great popularity in the countries where they had previously been banned.

I have never read Mein Kampf, but have long wanted to do so. Conversely, I don't know that I even want that filth in my house!
