Mein Campf
Adolf Hitler wrote the book, "My Battle" (Mein Kampf), while jailed in 1925 & 1926. Hitler did not have higher education, rather, he learned from street politics and newspapers. At the time of the book writing he was already famous in Munich due to a failed putsch attempt. The book propelled him to the national scene and later he became the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Fuhrer (dictator) of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945."
