Between 1920 and 1927 Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent published weekly articles on "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem." This American hero of the Industrial Age also spent much energy and money on the translation and publication of the infamous forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" as well as many other anti-Semitic tracts. In HENRY FORD AND THE JEWS, Neil Baldwin tells the story of anti-Semitism in the early 20th century through the biography of Henry Ford.

Susan Stamberg writes in The New York Times Book Review that To All Gentleness is "...a deftly-written portrait. Neil Baldwin shows us a man who found joy in the noises of daily life, and who put poetry together 'with as much painstaking care as he took in the delivery of a new baby."

Remembering (With a Smile) Wendy Wasserstein, 10/18/1950-1/30/2006
