This is a book as remarkable as it is disturbing. The author traces, in a scholarly, objective manner, the increasing secularization in all of American life, with an emphasis on the special dangers for Jews and Judaism. Detailed, eye opening proof is offered that even the Jewish religion itself is, in America, becoming secularized. There has been great controversy about this book in both Jewish organizational circles, due to its unfortunately frank description of the practices of Jewish organizations (including listing the salaries of officers of ostensibly charitable organizations) and in the religious community, owing to the recommendation that Jews proselytize for converts.
