=ON NATION AND RACE=

Adolph Hitler, despite his reputation as one of the cruelest and most vile individuals to walk this earth, had some pretty remarkable talents when it came to influencing history. Like many notorious dictators throughout history, Hitler had a knack for public speaking and writing. His eleventh chapter in the first volume of Mein Kampf best demonstrates how writing, whether based on fact or not, can alter the minds and lives of millions of people.
