Summary "The American Jew as Patriot, Soldier and Citizen" by Simon Wolf is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to highlight the contributions of Jewish individuals to American history, particularly during key conflicts such as the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The book aims to combat prevailing prejudices by documenting the vital role that Jews played in the establishment and defense of the United States, emphasizing their patriotism and commitment as citizens. The opening of the text presents an editor's preface that lays the groundwork for the book's purpose—challenging misconceptions about Jewish loyalty and service through a detailed examination of historical facts and records. It introduces readers to the context of rising anti-Semitism in the late 19th century and outlines Wolf’s motivation to compile evidence that demonstrates the contributions of Jewish soldiers and citizens to the nation. The preface suggests that the author accessed numerous historical documents and testimonies, aiming to create a comprehensive account that honors the sacrifices made by Jewish patriots in American history.
