One More Victim
One More Victim: The Life and Death of a Jewish Nazi (published in its second edition with the subtitle The Life and Death of an American-Jewish Nazi) is a 1967 book by A. M. Rosenthal and Arthur Gelb. It is a biography of Jewish neo-Nazi and Klansman Dan Burros, who killed himself when his heritage was revealed by The New York Times journalist McCandlish Phillips in October 1965. Both authors were journalists for the Times. In writing the book, they interviewed several of Burros's associates, including fellow Klansman Roy Frankhouser and Burros's girlfriend; Burros's parents refused all interviews.
The book was published by New American Library in October 1967, and was reissued in paperback the next year through their Signet Books imprint. The book covers Burros's early life and family history, his involvement in hate groups, leading up to the reveal of his background and resulting suicide at the age of 28. It also covers and analyzes the American Nazi Party and its leader George Lincoln Rockwell to some extent, as well as the Jewish American experience. The authors argue that it is impossible to determine why exactly Burros had turned out the way he did, arguing that even Burros himself did not truly know. The book received mixed reviews, with praise for its journalism, research, and the amount of information provided, but mixed reviews when it came to how well it answered the question of what led Burros to being a Jewish antisemite.
