To be precise. It's excerpts from Mein Kampf. Not clear to me why they published it at this stage--more than a decade after its publication.
There does not appear to be an editor's note explaining the editorial purpose. Given the time of publication, June 1941--during a prior of US formal neutrality but backing of UK--I assume it must have been to show how horrible he was. But I am not sure. Does anyone know?
