Four and a half stars. This is the best, clearest, most thorough account of Anti-Semitism in the US that I've read. The author presents facts, backing them up with giant end note section, and very rarely lets his opinion shine through. The only slight issue I had was the way the book wraps up by basically saying that anti-semitism isn't an issue anymore and that while people may repeat anti-Jewish tropes, no one acts on it. I get that this book came out in the '90s, but come on guy.

It would be sweet if someone wrote a history from the point this book leaves off… (lisätietoja)

I recommend this book for connecting the dots between the many immigrant ethnicities in America because it covers a great deal of time, history, and information in a concise length.
