Book Reviews of The Myth of the 20th Century
Book Review: Very interesting - could use footnotes...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a review for the actual book, not the CD. I have the 1992 Noontide Press edition - though the actual book can be purchased from NS Publications (on the web at their NEW TITLES page) for $45 plus shipping.
One may say that Rosenberg was anti-everything, but one must realize that he was a product of his time. I do agree with many things he wrote in Myth, while I disagree with other things on the basis that he was simply not fully informed... It is stated that even Adolf Hitler did not read Myth, saying that it was 'stuff nobody could understand...' True for most, but this is for the elite. Surely Hitler could have understood it, but it is a bit over-reaching when compared to Mein Kampf - which is, in my opinion, a far better book on National Socialism (when the right translation is read - which I recommend Ford translation). Note: I edited this 2nd March 2010. When I first wrote this review, I recommended the Murphy translation, until I read the Ford translation.
Rosenberg is highly opinionated and this can be extremely annoying, even to someone who appreciates the material he presents. And there are no footnotes in the work, something which could have seriously helped the reader who is not familiar with every concept or name he drops... I think a re-edit or even a re-translation would be in order someday. But for now, I am quite happy to have what I have, as it is admittedly a very rare book.
Four out of five, definitely.
