To Free a People: American Jewish Leaders and The Jewish Problem in Eastern Europe, 1890-1914

by Gary D. Best

Overview

To Free A People describes the earliest beginnings of the influential Jewish lobby: the efforts of Jewish leaders to generate an American response to the oppression of Jews in Eastern Europe around the turban of the century. Proposals to relocate Russian Jews in America, and the efforts of the Jewish lobby to repeal the treaty of commerce between Russia and the United States are examined. Best's book is the story of the emergence of international human rights as a concern of U.S. foreign policy.
