by Henry Ford (Author)
The International Jew, Volume 1 (May 22nd – October 2nd, 1920) is a collection of powerful articles originally published in Henry Ford’s newspaper, The Dearborn Independent. Compiled and released in book form in late 1920, this volume marks the beginning of one of the most controversial and widely discussed series in American publishing history.
Written under the direction of Henry Ford — the pioneering industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company — these articles examine what the authors termed “The Jewish Question” and its impact on American life, culture, politics, finance, and international affairs. The series ran as front-page features and quickly generated intense public interest, with demand for back issues exceeding supply.
This Volume 1 reprints the full series of articles from May 22nd through October 2nd, 1920. Topics include Jewish history in the United States, angles of Jewish influence in business and society, the question of whether Jews constitute a nation, the Jewish political program, an introduction to the “Jewish Protocols,” Jewish influence in American politics, Bolshevism and Zionism, supremacy in theatre and cinema, the emergence of “Jewish jazz” as national music, issues of liquor, gambling, vice and corruption, the high and low of Jewish money power, the battle for control of the press, and more. The articles blend historical analysis, contemporary observations, and sharp commentary on power structures in the early 20th century.
Far more than a single-issue polemic, the work presents a broad critique of perceived influences in media, entertainment, finance, and politics from the perspective of Ford and his editors. While many readers today approach the text through the lens of later controversies, the articles themselves cover a wide range of cultural, economic, and social questions that were hotly debated at the time.
