Leonard C. Yaseen (1912–1889)

This book is in two parts. The first half is a general argument against anti-semitism. The second half is a list of famous (mostly American) jews and their accomplishments. After 30 years, the second half is terribly out of date.

The first half seems to me to be an overstatement of obvious truths. Surely this can't have been needed 30 years ago, and if it was, than we must have grown beyond this since. Except I do follow the news, and I know that these simple facts have not triumphed. Sad.

This copy is falling apart, and both halves would need to be redone for a current audience. But it was a good try while it lasted.… (altro)
