The book deals with Gentile-Jewish relationships since the inception of the Jewish religion and the reasons for the misunderstandings, as well at times outright hatred, between members of these two groups. The need to understand these aspects is urgent lest our Middle-East policies lead to a nuclear disaster.
In its first part the book describes the origin of the Jewish faith; how the Jewish people have been taught to view themselves and their deity; how they have defended their views in the past and why they have - as a nation - so frequently come to grief.
The second part of the book shows how Jewish influence is wielded in the internal affairs of the United States as well as in its foreign policy. Thus, the book deals with anti-Semitism and demonstrates why this mental attitude cannot be wished away or legislated out of existence.
In essence the book shows how the fundamental assumptions of the Jewish religion not only differ from those of the rest of the world but can provoke conflict. It also shows that in authentic Judaism there can be no "separation of Church and State" and the difficulties that have to arise from this position. These are serious matters for Jew and Gentile alike and this why this book was written and should be read.
