Single Issue Magazine. Condizione: Very Good. Illustrated by Bransom, Paul (illustratore). First Edition. This highly controversial issue featured an article by Milton Mayer entitled "The Case Against The Jew" in which he argued that "The Jews of America are afraid that their number is up. they know that the postwar collapse will remind a bitter and bewildered nation that 'the Jews got us into the war.'" - page 18. The Post subsequently received thousands of complaints, resulting in the magazine announcing that it "deeply regrets the misunderstanding" and that "the Post has never been, is not now and never will be anti-Semitic in belief or expression." (Reference: JTA April 16, 1942). Mayer [1908-1986], was born into a Jewish home and went on to write "They Thought They Were Free - The Germans, 1933-45", which studied the citizens of Hitler's Germany.
