“Henry Ford’s War on Jews digs deeply and yet subtly into the serious, basic tensions that surrounded Jewish identity and leadership in the United States of the 1920s. . . . By leading the reader to and through Sapiro’s once nationally famous libel trial against Henry Ford in federal court in Detroit in 1927, Woeste plunges deeply in to American Jewish history and successfully conveys the intense and intricate internal battles among key Jewish leaders who sought to speak for American Jewry. . . . The book’s historical corrective regarding earlier, somewhat hagiographic, portraits of Henry Ford and Louis Marshall is significant in itself.”
