This uncommon work by the American journalists Ruth Kauffman and Reginald Wright Kauffman reflects their belief as Marxists that the Mormon church was a victim of a capitalistic society. The Kauffmans' intention was to summarize the widespread anti-Mormon sentiment that appeared in the American press during the late nineteenth century. They believed that capitalism was an unethical system of compulsion and domination. They were unlikely allies of the Saints and their work and brought an unprecedented perspective to the Church.
