The American Jew As Patriot, Soldier, And Citizen

In response to a letter published in 1891 questioning Jews' participation in defense of the U.S., a Jewish community leader researched such roles. Levy collected Wolf's rosters, statistics (by war, military branch, state, and total) and commentary on his co-religionists' honorable service since the Revolutionary War, as well as presidential commendations on their contributions. Both address anti-Semitism. Income from sale of the original 1941 edition was donated to the B'nai Brith Orphan Home in Atlanta, Georgia. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
