The text in The Nation is identical to the one in Bangkok Post:

Very original indeed.

I have made the effort to read a number of fragments of Mein Kampf (in German) and contrarily to what is often claimed it is written in correct High German and shows a lot of common sense.
I guess that the politically correct church that has never read a single word of Mein Kampf will disagree and prefer hiding behind slogans.
From 1942 on the book was printed in Latin script, which will be easier to read for many people than the German script used in previous editions.
I found this edition on internet (Volume I and Volume II in one book):
https://archive.org/stream/Mein-Kampf2/HitlerAdolf-MeinKampf-Band1Und2855.Auflage1943818S.#page/n5/mode/2up
Note that it contains some English text: “Copyright ... by ...” and “Printed in Germany”.

Don’t fear.

I have never read it, and I don't ever intend to read it, but banning a book is surely the type of thing hitler did himself.

Her's an interesting article about who makes (or made) money from the book.
