In later years Menuhin wrote "Premonitions assailed me even before this book was published concerning attempts that would be made to suppress it. I knew very well of the existence of a well-oiled and powerful Zionist network of publishers editors religious leaders of all faiths and politicians but still I was not prepared for the nation-wide assault which stopped my book in its tracks stifled every move I made and left me isolated and crushed and my character assassinated in the American Jewish sphere." - Jewish Critics of Zionism and The Stifling and Smearing of a Dissenter p.55. "Moshe Menuhin has great capacity to fire with indignation at wrongs in the world but exercises a wise restraint before ever taking hasty action.
