What you need is basic principles to operate by, and an understanding of history. Hitler is the best political theorist, so read "Mein Kampf" (ford translation is best). He applied his principles (unlike most theorists) and rose to power quickly. Read "Hitler's War", too, to understand his mistakes.

I disagree. "Mein Kampf" is piece of propaganda first and foremost. The Ford translation comes with a commentary on changes made specifically for propaganda purposes between various editions, and also was painstakingly translated to be as accurate to the original language as possible, while being coherent to a contemporary non-german. References that wouldn't make sense to most now come with an explanation. It's a far more complete version. Plus there's an audiobook.

Stalag edition is the one to read.
