Published in May 1922, this book is the fourth volume of "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem," a collection of anti-Semitic texts that were published in the 1920s. The chapters in the book are compiled articles from the Dearborn Independent newspaper owned by Henry Ford. Along with running the newspaper, Ford established the Dearborn Publishing Company which published these anti-Semitic books and translated them into several languages. "The International Jew" became very popular in early Nazi Germany and was praised by Adolf Hitler who had admired Ford and his ideals. While Henry Ford did not write the original newspaper articles, he was involved and knew of them being written, as well as approved of their publications. Common themes in such texts were Jewish control over the newspapers, Hollywood, banks, and Wall Street as well as Jewish involvement in Communism. This book, as well as the others, frequently refers to "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" which is another anti-Semitic text that was written to try and prove a conspiracy for Jewish world domination.
