Customer Reviews

Excellent book, one of my all time favorites

Anyone who thinks the Jewish lobby exists only for the protection of Israel needs to read this book. There's a much greater agenda and everyone needs to know about it.

A disturbing and sadly unsurprising account of the smear tactics of the right-wing Jewish lobby in A

The title of this book is unfortunate, as it may give people the impression that it is a hate-filled screed. In fact Professor Martin has every reason to cry foul after the way he was defamed by groups who did not want him to discuss the role played by Jewish merchants in the African slave trade. In order to understand the growing polarization in American society between certain groups, one must understand how interest groups like AIPAC and the ADL aggressively and in coordinated fashion work to suppress legitimate discussion of difficult issues as they did with Professor Martin. Anyone who thinks that the work of these groups is in the interest of those they purport to represent is sadly misguided. Might does not make right, whether it is physical or military strength we are talking about, or the power of organized activism by well-funded groups of radicals posing as moderates. Do not be afraid to look at both sides in ANY debate, no matter how effectively anyone has managed to portray someone in a negative light. Look behind the rhetoric and the propaganda and try to understand exactly what the sources of animosity and misunderstandings are--this book is a great place to start.

Double Standards?

Professor Martin's book is alarming because of how it exposes the activities and assaults of the Jewish lobby. It is also highly informative as it exposes a new perspective on why and how the slave trade was perpetuated (referring to the earlier work by the Nation Of Islam) while highlighting the personal struggles of one man who spoke a truth (however unpalatable it may be for some groups)As a Christian and Pan African, I'm not a big fan of the Nation Of Islam and was initially very sceptical, however their work (and Professor Martin's) is based on Jewish historical archives.How Can the Jewish Community expect Europe and White people to perpetually pay the price for the Holocaust? Are they going to keep the poor Germans on their metaphorical knees, paying the price for Nazism forever?Jews can't expect sympathy for the holocaust, yet attempt to silence an acedemic who points out their role in the Slave Trade? I note their are few outright denials of the facts he presents (as all the evidence comes from Jewish archives) Professor Martin just faces accusations of anti-semitism instead.To quotes a wiser man than I: "An anti-semite used to be someone who hates Jews, now an anti-semite is someone the Jews hate"

Dr. Tony Martin - My Hero

I just finished this book and made a note to myself to read it again very soon. This book is excellent. I can see right through the viewers who gave this book one star. Highly recommended esp. for those of African descent. I love Dr. Martin for standing up so well to those bullies. Thanks for bringing them into reality. The truth hurts awfully bad!!! READ THIS BOOK!!!!

Suppression of Academic Freedom

In 1993, Doctor Tony Martin, a highly respected historian with many academic credentials, quoted from the book, "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews", during just one African-American History class period. "The Secret Relationship" uses Jewish historical records to prove who owned the majority of slave ships and slave auction houses. For Dr. Martin's indescretion, he was targeted by the Jewish student organization, Hillel, the B'nai B'rith and the Anti-Defamation League.This book documents many of the events that transpired at Wellesley College after the smear campaign began.
