A look at anti-semitism
This is a well-researched work that deals with Hollywood and issues of Jewish control - and how those issues have influenced politics and popular culture. The writing is nothing spectacular - a tone that was a bit livelier would certainly not have hurt the book's academic credibility - but Carr compensates by offering a mountain of research. It's amazing to see what kinds of offensive things that members of the government and famous citizens (Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh) got away with saying only 60-70 years ago. All in all, this is a useful book on an important subject.
