A very emotionless, clear and decisive portrayal of the facts regarding the Jewish role in the African slave trade. I've always believed that it was the arabs and muslims who were largely responsible for the slave trade but this book shows in astonishing and meticulous DETAIL FROM JEWISH SOURCES that the jews had a severely disproportionate role in the African Slave Trade. It certainly makes you wonder about the origin of the NAACP and the jewish role in the civil rights movement. I would recommend this to anyone who can stomach a non-stop barrage of factual references without any "victim" bias.

There are many books purporting to be the "History of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Writing and references are sloppy, claims are far fetched and even invented. Not this book. I first read this book after loaning it from my public library. I antiscipated yet another hysterical diatribe against whites or polemic against African chieftans. Anyone seeking racists stereotypes should look elsewhere. This book is remarkably well researched. The quotes are all from Jewish sources and no others are included because of the risk of anti-semitic bias.

The book basically consists of archival records of business transactions, personal correspondance and public records of the Shephadic ( North African, Southern European and Dutch Jews) kidnapping, selling and loaning of African slaves. Its descibes the Jews creation of the trans-Atlantic slave trade which began with Christopher Colombus's arrival in the "New World" and his sending Native American Indians back to Spain. Its describes how Jewish wealth already acquired from their slave trading during the Middle Ages and Ottoman Empire period in Europe and the Middle East enabled the Jews to have the financial resources and seafaring merchantile experiences to successfully sell slaves and then sell the produce of slave labor consisting of sugar , tobacco and rum back to the Europeans. The book describes the struggles by various European monarchs to ban the consumption of excessive amounts for sugar, tobacco and rum which was leading to social decline in people that had become addicted to sugar and tobacco. A problem that is still the scourge of western society.

It also describes the tremendous indifference to the pain and suffering caused to African families and the obvious loss of life resulting from Jewish policey which claimed that it was more profitable to kill a slave after seven years then feed him or her nutrional food and keep them alive longer. Many contemporary health problems within the African-American population can be traced back to the slavery era in which their ancestors were fed only on molasses (residue of fermented surgar)

Its records the cultural backlash against the Jews profiteering and pirateering from African and European monarchs and even early American settlers like Peter Styvestant in New York City. There was also numerous slave uprisings resulting in pitched and bloody battles fought between Jewish slave traders and their African captives in South America. Who would disappear into the rain forests to live alongside Native Americans. One siege lasted for nine years with the Jews eventually giving up.

I am a cultural anthropologist so I checked out as many references as I could and they were all authentic. Particularly chilling are the personal correspondance between Jewish slave owners about their private lives and slavery. Incest and venereal disease was common place amongst them but this did not act as any kind of obstacle since the lure of huge profits clashed with personal scruples

There are some fresh insights into the role that the Jewish merchants played in the genocide against Native American Indians. It was a Jewish merchant that supplied the infected blankets and handkerchiefs to the English. So that they could reduce their numbers on the East coast of America with small pox. It describes how the Native Americans were encouraged to participate in slave trading to prevent slaves from escaping to their encampments but the outcome was unsuccessful because the Native tribes would not treat their African captives any different from their own people. This is still a considerable amount of the African-American popluace of both Americas which has Native American Indian ancestry due to intermixing.

All though the book is brief and riveting. Its is not easy reading at all. You really require a cast iron stomach to get through it because of the somewhat gory nature of its contents. However the archival material is so relentless and succint that although you may feel revolted by the mercenary accounts of what must be one of the worst records of mans'inhumanity to man. You still want to read it none the less.

This book is a riveting expose of the mythical and misconceived "familial" relationship between blacks and Jews. The Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam formulates a solid thesis based on authoritative Jewish sources to document the disproportionate involvement of Jews in the African slave trade.

The editors communicate their precise report in an emotionless and unbiased manner. There is not a hint of anger or so-called "rhetoric" in this work. Every claim is supported by citations "from the most respected of the Jewish authorities and whose works appear in established historical journals or are published by authoritative Jewish publishing houses."

This book redefines how students of history and political science should view slavery. Having read this book, the reviewer sees further the pointlessness of feeding into the useful idiocy machine.

It is unfortunate that the contents this book cannot be discussed, at least on the university level, with which the reviewer is well-acquainted, to help re-shape how slavery is interepreted in the United States. We remain in ignorance to what the eminent Jewish scholars already know.

I commend the courage and the bravery of the editors of this work. Though, I do not support the theological-political ideology of the Nation of Islam, I deem the work and research of this report to be accurate and true.

No other group, to my knowledge, with the exception of an article "Who Brought the Slaves to America?" written by a Walter White, Jr. published in 1968, has done Americans a service in exposing the predominant Jewish role in the African slave trade.

I read the "Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews" about eight years ago when a friend, who is a member of the Nation of Islam, loaned me his copy. I was so impressed with the high level of documentation used in researching this book that I bought my own copy.

One of the effects this book has had on the Jewish community is that it is now very difficult for a person of color to obtain entry to Jewish controlled historical archives. It was no doubt embarrassing to have Jewish archives quoted as the sources for the documentation of who owned the majority of slave ships, slave trading companies, and slave auction houses. I can understand why they would condemn this book.

Dr. Tony Martin, who taught African-American History at Wellesley College in 1993, made the mistake of thinking that he would be protected by the Right of Academic Freedom when he referenced this book while teaching just one of his class lectures. A smear campaign was instigated against him. The Jewish student organization, Hillel, in conjunction with the B'nai B'rith and the ADL, attempted to have Dr. Martin, a Black man of high standards and very respectable academic credentials, fired from his faculty position. I am not sure of the ultimate outcome of the controversy. If interested, you may wish to also read the book, "The Jewish Onslaught", by Tony Martin.

This is excellent research and I thank god for the Nation of Islam. So many tools will criticize this work simply because it was researched by black Muslims, but it is a must read to get a clear picture on what happen to Africans in the black holocaust. This book has over a thousand footnotes and references. If you don't except what this book is saying, you can simply close it and go and research all the references this book has provided. This is what I did, and everything that this book has said checked out to be true. How anyone can have a negative review of this work simply does not want to hear the truth. I am so tired of every time so one criticizes what a Jew has done they are anti Semitic or something bad. But the truth is the truth and this book has plenty of it.

I fail to see how this book has been targeted as a vessel carrying "racist or anti-Semitic" propaganda. It likely offends certain sensibilities because of the research dug up and documented. Bear in mind that this has less to do with the Nation of Islam than with research and the publishing of those results; the only reference to Islam is the phrase "All Praise is Due to Allah," on the title page. Furthermore, there is minimal evidence of a victim mentality in the presentation of this information. I fail to see how this could be sloppy scholarship because the hundreds of sources used are catalouged, quoted, extensivly commented upon and legitimate. Most of the SECRET RELATIONSHIP'S detractors likely haven't sat down to actually read it and decide for themselves because of their predjudices. In fact, the book that condemns this one gets better advertising.

THE SECRET RELATIONSHIP is about the Jewish involvement in the black African slave trade from the middle ages to Reconstruction after the American Civil War. Jews were either heavily influential or dominated the New World cash-crop commerce which was the harbringer of slavery in the American colonies. In country after country this is documented: Brazil, Suriname, Guyana, Jamacia, Curacao, Barbados, Hispanola, the soutern American colonies, etc. A disproportionate amount of the financiers of the Dutch India Company and in Newport, Rhode Island (who funded slave ships and voyages to Africa) were from prominient Jewish families. During the Civil War most Jews either supported the Confederacy and very few condemned the enslavement of Africans, which they deemed inferior to the light-skinned races. One of the most influential Jews in American history was Confederate Secretary of War Judah P. Benjamin. Jews also participated in the Confederates' secret diplomacy with European powers. The final section of the SECRET RELATIONSHIP gives a list of Jews involved in the opression of Africans along with historical and biographical information about them. Once again tradtional Establishment history errs by blaming white Christians as soley responsible for the slave trade. Only 30% of whites/Christians who lived in the south owned black slaves, while 70% of the Jews there did. Also recommended: THEY WERE WHITE AND THEY WERE SLAVES by Michael Hoffman.

This book is about a human history that has generally been hidden and taught in classrooms. The book was well researched and that research was documented throughout the book. It was a fascinating and thought provoking book that I would recommend.

If you believe the people who say that they are Jews are really who they say they are and you are a Christian, then you only go to church to listen to your pastor. You are not reading the Holy Scriptures, and you really don't know YHWH too well! Clearly in Deuteronomy 28 (specifically 28:68) the world is told the plight of the chosen people and Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 explain that the Jews who say they are Jews are lying. You can do the math yourself.

This book is loaded with facts about how the Jews influenced the Transatlantic Slave Trade (TaST) and how involved they were. I gather they never considered the truth would ever be revealed, so they boasted their claims in legal documents, letters, and various forms of manuscripts to leave their arrogance throughout the world. They should have known they only had a 'little' time to "deceive the whole world" before the truth would be revealed.

I didn't need to read this book to know there was history repeating the very actions they left behind to boast and boost their claims of superiority, but the ones perpetrating a fraud need to know that it's not long now before the "world" starts believing and the questions start springing forth more vehemently.

I know why the Jewish society was upset with the printing of this book, it exposes their arrogance-in the middle of the trade of the TRUE ISRAELITES-as told in the Holy Bible that they claim as their own-plus the Apocrypha and minus the New Testament. Besides, why are people always labeled ant-Semitic when they have opposing views of the Jewish community or speak about experiences and tell their opinions about Jews? This book helps understand why.

Before I read and reviewed this book I had my misgiving. First, I questioned the accuracy of the sources, and if they could warrant a debate. Second, since the book has no author there aren't any other works cited. So I was prepared for a book with no substance. Was I ever suprised. The book has well documented accounts of Jewish involvement in the Black Holocaust from primarily Jewish Sources. This book shows how a people motivated by greed, were almost singlehandly responsible for one of humanities greatest crimes. Rabbi Einhorn states," a Jew praises the Lord for deliverance from Egyptian bondage, but defends slavery when he is the enslaver. Black and Jewish people alike,Read This Book. If this book is controversial it is because it sheds light and makes one aware of the injustice. Not to mention the embarassment and shame it will cause. I believe a formal debate is in order. If the book is racist propaganda as the ADL and Harold Brackman claim have a open forum. Get prominent Rabbis and Jewish Historians to debate with Tony Martin and His team. The Time for truth is now.

Had this stellar compilation of facts, dates, and events been authored by an organization other than the Nation of Islam, the reactions to this book may have been very different. Despite the obviously bias rantings by those reviewers who either approved or disapproved of the book, it is not a racist piece of literature. It is written in a non-judgmental fashion, void of overt criticism or condemnation of any group. The data is presented in a very matter-of-fact manner and the bibliography is extensive and impressive. There is not an iota of anti-Semitism here. Instead it is an indictment of ALL individuals who participated in the degradation, exploitation and economic realization of the American slave trade. For anyone to assume that Jewish people were not involved with other Europeans in the horrors of slavery represents the epitome of ignorance and self-disillusionment. I suggest people of all races; Christian, Muslim and Jew read this book with an open mind and draw their own conclusions.
