"A visitor to Nazi Party headquarters in Munich in the winter of 1922 would have immediately observed a large table covered with copies of the German edition of The International Jew by Henry Ford, and a framed photograph of the industrialist-author hanging on Adolf Hitler's office wall. In Henry Ford and the Jews, biographer Neil Baldwin reveals the complex tale of how "Heinrich" Ford promoted a virulent brand of antisemitism, disseminating his point of view through a privately-published newspaper, The Dearborn Independent - and how the Jewish American community responded with alarm and courage.". "The same formidable willpower and organizational instincts that led to Ford's renown and success as the inventor of the automobile assembly line, the same obsessive determination and singular focus that created the Ford Motor Company, resulted in the destructive mass production of hate. With America heading into World War I, Ford's media campaign took off and continued well into the 1930s, as he published The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, The International Jew, and, for ninety-one consecutive weeks, an uninterrupted series of venomous essays in The Dearborn Independent. Declaring "I know who caused the war," Henry Ford became ever more convinced that these "parasites, these sloths and lunatics ... apostles of murder," the "German-Jewish bankers" were liable for society's ills.". "With access to previously-unreferenced oral history transcripts, archival correspondence, and unpublished family memoirs, Neil Baldwin painstakingly interprets Henry Ford's bizarre statements, erratic deeds and halting apologies. He examines the influential, conservative biases of the men at the inner circle of the Ford Motor Company, and carefully recounts the painful ideological struggles among an elite Jewish leadership reluctantly pitted against the clout and popularity of "The Flivver King." And he traces Ford's unmistakable impact upon the growing antisemitic movement in Europe during the anxious decade leading up to World War II.". "Henry Ford and the Jews is the tragic, cautionary story of an American entrepreneur on a misguided mission."--BOOK JACKET.

Although Katharine Graham is surely one of the most powerful women in the world, few people are aware of the extent of her influence. World leaders meet with her; presidents meet with her; anyone moving up in the circles of power in the nation's capital tries to meet with the owner of the Washington Post and Newsweek--a communications conglomerate. Katharine the Great is a full-length biography of Kay Graham, a woman born into wealth and power. The second daughter of multimillionaires Eugene Meyer and Agnes Ernst, she grew up among the elite. Her mother's friends included Picasso, Rodin, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Thomas Mann. She went to Vassar and the University of Chicago. After a brief stay on the West Coast she returned to the East, where her father had just purchased the Washington Post. When Katharine married, her husband, the brilliant, mercurial Philip Graham, became publisher of the Post. Katharine Graham settled down to home life while her husband ran the newspaper. But during the 1950s Philip Graham was battling manic depression, and their marriage suffered. In 1963, twenty-five years to the day after he took over the Washington Post Company, Philip Graham committed suicide. Middle-aged and inexperienced, Katharine Graham took over the newspaper. Together with Ben Bradlee she made the Post a successful and powerful newspaper. In 1970 she published the Pentagon Papers to international repercussions. In 1972 the Post began the Watergate investigation, which led to Richard Nixon's resignation from the White House. From the Meyer Family to Phil Graham's era at the Post, to the CIA and Deep Throat, and beyond to the changing politics of the Reagan-Bush years, Deborah Davis reveals how Katharine Graham has helped to shape the destiny of the United States.
