File:Adolf Hitler's Own Book Mein Kampf, p. 1 image.tif

Front page illustration from a pamphlet with excerpts from Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf published by Noram Publishing Company, Incorporated, Greenwich, Conn. 1939. The satirical drawing depicts a caricature of Adolf Hitler desperately trying to fit Italy and Britain as new pieces into a large swastika-shaped puzzle. The puzzle is made up of former territories such as Germany, Memel, Romania, Austria, and Czechoslovakia, symbolizing Hitler's and the Nazis' expansionist annexation policy in Europe in the late 1930s. This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1930 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed.

• Mein Kampf in English (Wikipedia article):

Since the early 1930s, the history of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf in English has been complicated and has been the occasion for controversy.Four full translations were completed before 1945, as well as a number of extracts in newspapers, pamphlets, government documents and unpublished typescripts. Not all of these had official approval from Hitler's publishers, Eher Verlag.

In 1939, two further pamphlets containing excerpts from Mein Kampf were published. One of these, Mein Kampf: A New Unexpurgated Translation Condensed with Critical Comments and Explanatory Notes, was published by a start up firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut, called Noram Publishing Company, which had been created for the sole purpose of publishing parts of Mein Kampf that were not available in the Dugdale abridgement. It was formed by the reporter Alan Cranston (later a Senator) and his friend Amster Spiro, a Jewish reporter with the Hearst syndicate. While dictating the translation to secretaries in Manhattan, one of the transcribers who happened to be Jewish became alarmed at the contents and contacted the Anti-Defamation League, who sent Benjamin Epstein to investigate. When Epstein learned that the publication was meant to alert the American people to the danger Hitler presented, Epstein decided to collaborate with Spiro and Cranston. "Once I realized he was really on our side ... I opened our files and we worked very closely together", he was later quoted as saying.

This pamphlet was published in a 32-page tabloid edition with notes, maps and illustrations. The cover stated that not one cent of royalties would be paid to Hitler, and the profits would supposedly go to refugees. Cranston claimed that they sold half a million copies in 10 days at 10 cents each. However, Houghton Mifflin secured an injunction against Noram from the Federal District Court and they had to pulp their remaining stock of 500,000.
