What was the name of the racist book Henry Ford wrote?
Someone mentioned it on here a few days ago. I'm writing an angry letter to Ford and I want to site their history of racism and bigotry concerning their siding with the American Family Association.

anyone know?

2. I think that you are referring to...
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

I think he wrote it. I know that it was a hideously anti-Semitic book

5. From the ADL:
Edited on Tue Dec-06-05 09:42 AM by Nevernose
Serge Nilus, a little-known Czarist official in Moscow, edited several editions of the Protocols, each with a different account of how he discovered the document. In his 1911 edition Nilus claimed that his source had stolen the document from (a non-existent) Zionist headquarters in France. Other "editors" of the Protocols maintained that the document was read at the First Zionist Congress held in 1897 in Basel, Switzerland.

Though Ford certainly did believe in them...

I didn't even know he had a book out. He was a Nazi too and got some award from them.

9. Henry Ford and the Nazis
http://reformed-theology.org/html/books/wall_street/chapter_06.htm

Some interesting reading.
Henry Ford is often seen to be something of an enigma among the Wall Street elite. For many years in the 20s and 30s Ford was popularly known as an enemy of the financial establishment. Ford accused Morgan and others of using war and revolution as a road to profit and their influence in social systems as a means of personal advancement. By 1938 Henry Ford, in his public statements, had divided financiers into two classes: those who profited from war and used their influence to bring about war for profit, and the "constructive" financiers. Among the latter group he now included the House of Morgan. During a 1938 New York Times interview1 Ford averred that:

Somebody once said that sixty families have directed the destinies of the nation. It might well be said that if somebody would focus the spotlight on twenty-five persons who handle the nation's finances, the world's real warmakers would be brought into bold relief.

Henry Ford's portrait was prominently displayed on the walls of Hitler's personal office:

The wall behind his desk in Hitler's private office is decorated with a large picture of Henry Ford. In the antechamber there is a large table covered with books, nearly all of which are a translation of a book written and published by Henry Ford.

10. I found it, it's called...
"The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem". it was a series of essays he combined into a book.

By the way, here is my letter to Ford:
You know, I was going to buy a new Ford this spring, but when I saw you bend to the will of the American Family Association, you lost my business. That is such a scummy thing to do. Henry Ford revealed he was a racist when he published, "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem". Henry Ford II did a fairly good job repairing the companies image, but I guess the new generation at Ford is carrying along in that old bigoted/racist tradition. Shame on you! You have no guts and are failing because you only listen to the religious political winds rather than what the people want, a cheap, fuel efficient car.
