I read it back in 2005, when I was a freshman in high school and even then I could it was a silly, badly written piece of shit. Granted he might have been an influential person in the 20th century, but that's no reason to read that heaping pile of dung. If you want to get at the meat of what made him so damn influential, go watch Triumph of The Will. Which if I'm not mistaken was a documentary / actuality footage collection filmed "live" during those speeches and gatherings. I haven't watched it myself, but might just to see if all I've heard in school/s about him being charismatic are correct.
