BELLOC, HILAIRE — The Jews

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1922. First American Edition. Hardcover. Deals with "the relation between the Jews and the nations around them. I suggest that if the Jews and ourselves will drop convention and make a principle of discussing the problem in terms of reality, we shall automatically approach a right solution. We have but to tell the truth in the place of the falsehoods of the last generation. I have written [the book] as an attempt at justice." - Preface. "Widely criticized for the author's hostility toward the British Jews and his notions of apartheid-like Jewish segregation and nationality status." - Singerman 0129. "Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) was a French-English writer, politician, and historian. He was also an orator, poet, sailor, satirist, writer of letters, soldier, and political activist. His Catholic faith had a strong effect on his works. The author of over one-hundred and fifty books, he has been called one of the Big Four of Edwardian Letters. This title was one of his best-known non-fiction works." - Wikipedia. xx, 308 p. Unmarked with tiny vintage bookseller tag inside back board and prior owner's bookplate inside front board.
