Samuel "was a Romanian-born British and American novelist, translator and lecturer of Jewish heritage. He was known for his role as a polemicist and campaigner against anti-Semitism. Most of his work concerns itself with Judaism or the Jew's role in history and modern society, but he also wrote more conventional fiction, such as The Web of Lucifer, which takes place during the Borgias' rule of Renaissance Italy, and the fantasy science-fiction novel The Devil that Failed. He and his work received acclaim within the Jewish community during his lifetime, including the 1944 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for his non-fiction work, The World of Sholom Aleichem. He received the Itzik Manger Prize for Yiddish literature posthumously in 1972."
Per the dj blurb, this work "a merciless expose of cowardly leadership, a commercialized rabbinate and a servile press which systematically engage in a vulgarization of American Jewish life, and betray the Jewish people by refusing to face realities. This book says what many intelligent Jews think but do not dare to say."
Uncommon in the trade, especially so in jacket.
