The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem

Rating:
Summary: Its An Eye Opener
Review: A hard-hitting, easy-to-read introduction to what the renowned American automaker and industrialist called "the world's foremost problem." This influential and much-discussed collection of essays, packed with facts and insights, is an eye-opening survey of the enduringly vexing "Jewish question." These essays originally appeared 1920-22 in Ford's Dearborn Independent. A sample: "Jewish intolerance today, yesterday and in every age of history where Jews were able to exert influence or power, is indisputable except among people who do not know the record."

Summary: This book is worthless.
Review: Henry Ford knew how to build cars, but as a historian and intellectual, he was a failure.

This book is worthless. And that is being kind.

Summary: anyone here actually studied jewish history?
Review: I used to believe that the less said about this book, the better. After reading some of the comments, however, I've concluded that talking about Ford's views from an objective, historical perspective is important. Like the writers of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Ford is drawing on, at best, a scewed understanding of Judaism. Like that book, Ford's appeals to his readers' fear and ignorance. At the time that Ford was advancing his views, anti-Semitism was not only socially acceptable, it was, in many parts of the Western world, encouraged. Ford and those who shared his worldview focused on the very small percentage of the Jewish people who were high profile; the vast majority of Jews in the early 20th century were not well-educated Sephardic or Ashkenazi Jews, rather they were farmers, factory workers, etc. In other words, they were like the majority of Christians.

For the reviewers who claim that Ford's book is historically accurate, I'd suggest that you study the history of Judaism and the Jewish diaspora. Had Ford done so, perhaps his book wouldn't be such patent, though dangerous, nonsense. I had hoped that the canard that the Jewish people wish to control the world had been placed on the rubbish bin of history along with accusations that Christians sacrifice babies during Eucharistic rituals.

Summary: EXCELLENT BOOK!!
Review: I worte an extensive review on this book here and it stayed online for a week or so. Maybe it was too real, and the fact that it was censored speaks volumes about who really controls what.

Anyway, all I can say -- if freedom of speech exists -- is that this is an excellent book. It reflects reality as it is today, and it was written in the early 19s. Everybody should read it.

Summary: Anti-Semitic tripe
Review: This Book is a purely anti-Semitic polemic written by Henry Ford, otherwise known for his wonderful cars and innovations on the assembly line. Unfortunately this book is just pure conspiratorial tomfoolery in which a business Titan decided to rant about his petty hatred for Jews. This book is full of common misconceptions regarding Jewish culture and the so-called 'Jewish domination of banking'. The premise of this Anti-Semitic account is that Jews control the world's businesses due to the presence of Jews in so many nations. One problem exists here. If Jews had so much undue influence then why was the Holocaust permitted to happen? If Jews had so much undue influence in the 1920s, when this book was written, then how did Anti-Semites like Henry ford succeed? The only thing this book is good for is as a historical text to view anti-Semitism in the 1920s.

Summary: You gotta get it!!!
Review: This definitely gotta be the best book i have read in a while. I read the south african edition about four years ago, for the reason that i couldn't find this book in the US, after a friend recommend it to me. To any average reader it might seem bit "too much", but the sheer fact that this book was nowhere to be found in the US, shows how powerful the jewish lobby is in the US.
Book has it all. It will explain how cunningly, jews managed to survive centuries of persecution by both christians and muslims, and how the jews effectively spread on all continents in the world. What Ford is trying to point out, is that no matter which nationality the jew is (american, british, polish), he is first and foremost jewish, and always in pursuing zionistic ideas.
There's just too much in the book to be reviewed here by me, so i strongly recommend to anyone to read, and you might just figure out why the US has vetoed a record 65 resolutions against Israel in the security council in the last forty years
