This unique linguistic analysis of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf examines how Hitler constructed
Feindbilder (images of the enemy) and in contrast glorified the so-called Aryan race using a
variety of lexical and rhetorical resources. Hitler's anti-Semitic imagery is analyzed in
detail using the modern cognitive theory of metaphor associated with George Lakoff and Mark
Turner. This book which includes English translations for all quotations from Hitler's German
text reveals how anti-Semitic discourse may act as a paradigm for all racist and totalitarian
propaganda. It will appeal to linguistics scholars and those in other fields - particulary
historians and political theorists.
