This Yiddish-language book, *Sefer Hanitzachon* (The Victory Book), details a legal dispute in an 1891 New York court between Anthony Comstock, who attempted to ban the book *Sefer Maaseh Taluy* (The Hanging Deed), and Shlomo Rozenthal. The book recounts the trial, which became a debate about Christianity and Judaism, where Rozenthal refuted missionary interpretations of the Tanakh. The court ruled that *Maaseh Taluy* was a religious book and its publication was permitted. The book includes a poem by Hillel Malachovsky in honor of Rozenthal. The final page features an English title page.
