'''''Mein Kampf''''', meaning "My Struggle" or "My Battle" in German, is the title of a book authored by [[Adolf Hitler]]. Hitler wrote the first edition of the book while imprisoned for his role in the 1923 [[Beer Hall Putsch]], a failed coup attempt. In this book, Hitler tells his life story and lays out his political ideas and philosophy, including his [[atheism]] and [[evolutionism]]. Among the beliefs that Hitler expressed in his book were the notions of "racial purity" and a "Master Race" of Aryans. When Hitler rose to power in Germany as the head of the National Socialist Workers Party or "[[Nazis]]", his book ''Mein Kampf '' became the "bible" of the Nazis. Hitler as the leader of Germany put his ideas into practice by exterminating millions of non-Aryans and attacking and conquering other nations to expand the homeland to provide more "[[lebensraum]]", or living space, for the Aryans. {{cquote|a boring tome that I have never been able to read|||[[Benito Mussolini]] on ''Mein Kampf''.<ref>Smith, Denis Mack. 1983.
