A Goodreads user asked this question about My Struggle, Book 1:
I find it shocking that more people haven't commented on the title. I have searched through articles, and while they mention the obvious connection to Hitler, none of them ask about it in detail.

Judging a book by its cover, you surely know, is bereft of intellect and worth.

Ignorance begets prejudice. You have it. (less)
