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.
Yeah, I was told by my teacher to have a look at 'Mein Kampf', as I'm doing my coursework next year on that period of time, I went to Waterstones on Wednesday to have a look, and I was going to buy something by Kershaw, might be what you've suggested, need to double check, if so I'll order it tomorrow and hopefully it'll be here by early next week. I'm centering my coursework on Hitler, hence the purchase, and pondering whether he was the largest influence on Germany in the past century.
I bought 'The Double Helix' for my own personal interest, and additional research for my EPQ, into DNA.
Edit: The Kershaw book I saw in Waterstones was simply entitled 'Hitler', I'll have a look at the one you recommend now
