About

A landmark novel that ranked #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for five months straight, Gentleman's Agreement speaks to the pervasive nature of prejudice after World War II-an issue just as relevant today as when the book was first published Journalist Philip Green has just moved to New York City from California when the Third Reich falls. To mark this moment in history, his editor at Smith's Weekly Magazine assigns Phil a series of articles on anti-Semitism in America. In order to experience anti-Semitism firsthand, Phil, a Christian, decides to pose as a Jew. What he discovers about the rampant bigotry in America will change him forever.

"To the shame of human decency, the brutal and the subtle cruelties [of anti-Semitism] have often been ignored. They cannot be ignored in Gentleman's Agreement."
