Work for next year begins now....
I've never read 'The Double Helix', but I've briefly flicked through and listened to the English version of 'Mein Kampf'. It's mostly rambling nonsense but it does advance certain beliefs which, of course, form the basis of Nazi ideology. If you're studying Nazi Germany, you should pick up a copy of Ian Kershaw's 'The Hitler Myth'. Kershaw's work puts forth the idea of Hitler being the charismatic figurehead of the Nazi regime, but argues the real power lay with his inner-circle (Goering, Goebels etc.) who propagated and implemented many of the ideas being Nazism.
I imagine it'll be on your reading list if you are reading History.
