Very little has been written about America's own history of anti-Semitism. In this shocking book, the first documented examination of anti-Semitism in an American governmental institution, Joseph Bendersky shows that such racism permeated the highest ranks of the U.S. military throughout the past century, having a very real effect on policy decisions. Through ten years of research in more than thirty-five archives, the author uncovered irrefutable evidence of endemic and virulent anti-Semitism throughout the Army Corps from the turn of the century right up to the 1970s. This fully developed and clearly articulated perspective had a direct effect on policy discussions and decisions, affecting such matters as immigration, refugees, military strategy, and the establishment of Israel. Written with novelistic intensity and attention to intriguing detail, The "Jewish Threat" forces us to revise some of our cherished notions about our country and its most revered leaders.

awful

By Timothy Allen on March 3, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I am reading this book because the author of 'The culture of critique' recommended it as a counterpoint to his book. the recommendation was on point. the tactics employed by berdanski are exactly as suggested they would be. birdsky states that an entire nation's population doesn't provide empirical evidence, instead his shilling is the proof you need. the internet is a constant provider of pictorial proof that what the author describes as hysterical reactions are in fact reactions that you would want people who have sworn to protect you to have. I would like fallingbirddungsky to prove that he is not the wikipedia author who saw fit to add the awards and accomplishments of lazar kaganovich to his,lazer's, wiki page. I offer that as proof that this book is a hoax. Possibly the worst mass murderer of all time, kapoohsky, is memorialized by a crazy person, probably hysterical, and the U.S. Army officers that tried to protect the U.S. from the actual threat of lizar's violence are villified by the pooh that wrote this book. don't buy it. buy 'The culture of critique' instead.

An excellent book that ironically

By Weisser Wolf on February 25, 2015

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

An excellent book that ironically, proves the complete opposite thesis than what the author is trying disprove! As with many books concerning the third-rail subject matter of Jews and their disproportionate influence and power, this one doesn't disappoint in that it uses much of their own words and actions as the most damming evidence.

The book is also an excellent look back into history before the sickening stench of PC had invaded the government and the military; for proof just read this book and then look at "our" govt today...

Well researched but misses the "big picture"

By mike duffy on January 23, 2005

Format: Hardcover

It's hard to review this book simply because it is the only one that I know ever written on the subject of anti-Semitism and its influence on US Army poicy from the end of WWI through the end of WWII and into the 50's. It certainly is exhaustive - the research is incredible, and it is very well written. The author has dug up dozens of Army officers, mostly mid level careerists, who held anti-Jewish views. What Bendersky has failed to do was explain how a handful of anti-Semetic officers influenced American policy or changed the course of WWII.

An important work

By J. A Magill VINE VOICE on October 3, 2001

Format: Hardcover

Much has been written recently about the previously unexplored history of racism in the US Army. My own favorite was "An Incident at West Point" though several books about the famed Tuskegee Airmen have also received wide praise. What has been given less attention is the history of anti-Semitism in the US Army. With this work, Joseph Bendersky, a noted history professor, ends that glaring omission.
Bendersky documents several layers of anti-Semitism in the US army, through most of the 20th century. In the early part of the century, it was reflected in opposition to immigration based on the belief that Jews represented a "bad and unchristian" element. Moving forward, the author exposes the army subscribing to such infamous anti-Semitic canards as the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" that argues for a world wide Jewish conspiracy whose goal is the destruction of Christianity.
These beliefs had great impact on American policy. A great example being General Marshall's opposition to the State of Israel, when he served in Truman's cabinet.
Many, myself included, will find the subject of this book disquieting. That is all the more reason that we are fortunate that an excellent scholar with meticulous attention to research and citations wrote this very fine work. It is an excellent source for those interested in the history of the Jews in America.
