You should try reading "The Road to Serfdom", "The Consitution of Liberty" (both Hayek), "The Origins of Totalitarianism" (Hannah Arendt) and "Open Society and its Enemies" (Popper) if you find the intentions in "Mein Kampf" to be good. Apart from Hitler's racial point of view, which shouldn't even be subject to discussion, it's in his intentions that the tragedy has already been laid-out. "Road to Serfdom" probably is the easiest to read from the bunch although it is more directed at socialism, which, however, according to the book does not differ very much from fascism anyway - if at all. I would also highly recommend Arendt's book. Popper is quite long and not the easiest to read. These are all books against totalitarianism.
