Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' Becomes Best-Seller In Turkey

ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Is it just curiosity -- or a sign of growing anti-Semitism and anti-American sentiment in Turkey?

Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" has suddenly become a best seller in Turkey, following the release of two cheap paperback versions.

<...>

Some analysts said many Turks are angry over violence between Israelis and Palestinians, along with U.S. policy in neighboring Iraq. But others chalk up the sales to a cheap price.

One student who bought a copy said he became intrigued after seeing it on TV and becoming curious about Hitler's life.

1. I've always wanted to read it

but have been afraid to go look for it for fear someone would accuse me of being a fan of Hitler's or something. I just think it would be interesting.

2. It's quite boring and at times almost unreadable.

Absolute crap. Its only merit is historical signifigance.
