George Orwell reviews Mein Kampf; by Jonathan Crow at Open Culture.
"Orwell displays his remarkable foresight in a fascinating book review, published in [New English Weekly, 21] March 1940, of Adolf Hitler’s notorious autobiography Mein Kampf. In the review, the author deftly cuts to the root of Hitler’s toxic charisma, and, along the way, anticipates themes to appear in his future masterpieces, Animal Farm and 1984."
See Orwell, Animal Farm, in Great Books of the Western World (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 60.
