4.0 out of 5 stars Jewish Intergroup Relations in the Era of McCarthy and the Freedom Rides, January 20, 2009

P. Allen Krause (Mission Viejo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Though occasionally repetitious, Svonkin's book does a very good job recreating the challenges faced by the American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, and the American Jewish Congress in post-war (WWII) America. These agencies developed different strategies to deal with anti-Semitism, but then expanded to a concern for prejudice against other groups, particularly African-Americans during the years of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. An interesting and informative read which reflects fine scholarship.
