I’m just interested in reading it. I read a lot across the political spectrum, I don’t see this as being edgy merely curious of a book which contains the thoughts of one of histories most influential figures. We don’t have the same reaction to Marx capital, Lenin’s state and revolution or Mao’s little red book so I see no differed

It's easy to see how he could very well be the most lied about man in history, given the highly politicized and controversial nature of the topic. How much confidence can we really put on the stories told about him?
