Uncommon Allies unearths rare but authentic interfaith unity against the horrors of Nazism. On March 27, 1933, representatives from across the American religious spectrum came to Madison Square Garden, united in a shared purpose to speak out against the rise of fascism in Germany and Adolph Hitler’s seizure of power. This rally—the first of several held at the Garden before, during, and after World War II—represents an unexplored moment of Jewish and Christian relations, challenging assumptions about Christian indifference to the Jewish plight during the Hitler regime. Alan M. Shore uses an impressive range of sources, including English and Yiddish newspapers of the time and neglected histories of various religious organizations, to tell the story of these pivotal rallies. Shore traces the impact of the groundbreaking 1933 rally to a series of events in 1943 as the reality of Hitler’s "Final Solution" came to bear and concludes with a postwar rally in 1945 as religious groups struggled to find a way to help displaced and struggling Jews. Each rally is vividly presented and analyzed in terms of its background, planning, execution, content, and press coverage. Exploring the impact of these gathering through the years, Shore draws a clear line to the partnership between Christian and Jewish Zionists and the genesis of the rhetorical use of "Judeo-Christian values."

With Britain by late 1916 facing the prospect of an economic crisis and increasingly dependent on the US, rival factions in Asquith's government battled over whether or not to seek a negotiated end to the First World War. In this riveting new account, Daniel Larsen tells the full story for the first time of how Asquith and his supporters secretly sought to end the war. He shows how they supported President Woodrow Wilson's efforts to convene a peace conference and how British intelligence, clandestinely breaking American codes, aimed to sabotage these peace efforts and aided Asquith's rivals. With Britain reading and decrypting all US diplomatic telegrams between Europe and Washington, these decrypts were used in a battle between the Treasury, which was terrified of looming financial catastrophe, and Lloyd George and the generals. This book's findings transform our understanding of British strategy and international diplomacy during the war.
