1922546London, Constable & company, 1922. First edition, second impression. In-8 hardcover, 13.5 x 21.5 cm, (xix) 308 pp. Bound in full crimson cloth, book title and author's name on the spine. Ex-library, trace of a removed label on the bottom of the spine, library stamp on the title page and right after. Preface and Contents at the beginning of the book. First published by Hilaire Belloc in 1922, "The Jews" is a controversial work of political and social analysis that addresses the complex and often antagonistic relationship between Jewish communities and their "host" European nations. Belloc argues that this friction is an inherent "Jewish problem," stemming from the Jewish people's status as a distinct, unassimilable nation within other societies. However, Belloc is keen to show tactfulness throughout the book and attacks "anti-Semites" as "extravagant" and "ill-balanced."
