About this title

Review

More interesting than the facts Dimont has collected is the fascinating reasoning of a bright and unorthodox mind. San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle

A book of life and hope. There are few greater documents to the vitality and perseverance of Man than this history of the Jews. St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Done with warmth and vitality. Written for laymen by a scholarly layman who has a passion for his theme. Max Lerner

By far the liveliest popular history of the Jewish people that I have ever read. In many ways, a strikingly original synthesis of Jewish history. Richard B. Morris, author of The Forging of the Union, 1781 1789 and Witnesses at the Creation
