For eight long years he fearlessly studied and reported weekly on the Jewish Question despite extreme Jewish libel and slander; finally he was forced to retire this service after they threatened to financially choke him. No student of the Jewish Question disputes his findings, and in fact he is one of the greatest contributors to our knowledge thereof today, but many readers may have been frustrated by the limitations of the newspaper format. Well, now- for the first time in over 100 years- William Schnarr has undertaken the first fully researched and resourced edition of The International Jew, the 4-volume archive of nearly all Ford's original articles pertaining to the JQ. Due to the age of the papers and Ford's tendency to cite contemporary papers, many sources are lost forever, if not extremely difficult to track down, but even what can be confirmed with the aid of modern technology will shock and amaze readers, just as it did Schnarr as he found Ford's evidence. Although many citations are from The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion- a controversial pamphlet to this day- there are also many citations, from contemporary Jewish newspapers to centennial almanacs archived in the University of Minnesota. These documents all work to shatter once and for all the veneer of Jewish libel and slander, and show bright and clear Ford deserved every bit of credit that his admirers give him for his work on The Dearborn Independent.

FEW PEOPLE have had the transformative success as Henry Ford of Dearborn Michigan, USA. While his life-story transformed the nation and the world, the effects on its author are less understood. The purpose of this book is to explore his story as an additional study to Napoleon Hill's bestselling "Think and Grow Rich." In Hill's book, few individuals in it have more anecdotes used as examples than Ford - excepting Thomas Edison himself (who gave Ford an early boost in one of his companies.) In most days, people are challenged by their environment. They can rise to the challenge, or succumb to it. A rare few among them can see opportunity and seize it - creating a new world from a unique and unstoppable vision they hold. With Ford, we can also gain more insight into his philosophy of achievement, and how this affected Hill in his own studies. Even today, Ford's ideals have a great deal to say about how we can approach our own life. Now, it's over to you.
