Archer also recalls the roles of
Henry Ford and Fr. Charles E.
Coughlin who reprinted the atro-
cious forgeries, the "Protocols of
the Elders of Zion." Archer tells
•the background of the protocols,
the manner in which they were
utilized as weapons by anti-
Semites, and he traces the his-
tory of Ford's apology, He adds:
"But Ford's apology could not
cancel the wide circulation given
to the spurious protocols. In later
years other anti-Semitic extrem-
ists — notably Father Charles
Coughlin in the United States and
Adolf Hitler in Germany—would
find them useful."

Archer's thoroughness in com-
piling the data about the variety of
extremists in our midsts includes
review of civil rights and other
major issues that have affected'
this country in recent year:. Link-
ing past with present, outlining the
forms extremism has taken in the
days of the American Revolution,
the Boston Tea Party, the years of
struggle for emancipation, he has
produced a tremendously important
work for all who are concerned
about retention of freedom while
tolerating those who seem to be
plotting to undermine our way of
life.
