The article discusses the book "The Forgotten Ally," by Pierre van Paassen. According to the author, in this book Van Pierre denounces Jewish leaders who imagine that a "nationalist" answer to a great issue is too low to engage their conscience and who do not understand the difficulty of rising beyond nationalism for people denied the basic security of national existence. He tells some rather effective stories of European Jews who imagined themselves secure in their assimilation and discovered too late that their security was an illusion. To support his various subordinate themes he regales his readers with other stories of the heroism of Jewish soldiers in armies of Allies and of the duplicity of Arab chieftains and politicians.
