...begin to raise your hands? Do I hear you stamp your feet. He gave us our history. He gave us our news. He gave us our art. He gave us our holidays, he gave us our leisure, and he gave our newly-married a copy of Mein Kampf. At the end we loved him . . . With the killers of the world at our throats, the hordes from the East and West, the capitalists and the Communists, the bombers of cities, the murderers of our children, with bullets in our guts we loved him." Then comes the big shocker: "People of Israel...
...literature that emerges from prison is as various as Mein Kampf and Pilgrim's Progress. But the authors usually share a common conviction. More often than not they are men who regard themselves as unjustly condemned. In that company, Jailbird Jean Genet is a rarity; he has no complaint against society at large, nor does he whine that he took a bum rap.

Its ideas have already found bloody reality in the Simba massacres in the Congo, in the shouts of Indonesia's Sukarno against "neocolonialism...
...developed in the dozen years since Bullock's biography first appeared. The record of the Fiihrer's wartime table talk-his ad-lib sermonizings noted down by awed subordinates-proves again that his convictions had altered not one fanatic whit from the days when he wrote Mein Kampf, 20 years before. A complete rereading of "the whole of the documentary evidence for Hitler's foreign policy" has led Bullock to modify some details of his account of the years 1933-39, but to "disagree with Mr. Taylor more than ever" in his overall view...
