Hardcover. xxi, 332p., second printing of first issue (1969), illustrated with a photo-insert section; hardbound in openweave black cloth gilt, lacks the jacket, spine panel slightly sunned and dusty, an else excellent copy in every way: perfectly sound, marked only with a timid little ownership, and otherwise clean. Wise's formal photos are grim-set, but he appears downright delighted with movers & shakers. The indoor shot in the company of Einstein is quite electric, on his part; Albert is pleased but what strikes is that AE, pipe in hand, seems to be without teeth. Wise met and counseled both Roosevelts, a Taft and a Wilson. Wise "attended the Second Zionist Congress in Basle, Switzerland, in August, 1898, as a delegate of the Federation of American Zionists, which [Wise] had helped found one month earlier". Soon a personal friend of Herzl.

From Wikipedia: "Stephen Samuel Wise (born Weisz, March 17, 1874 - April 19, 1949) was an American Reform rabbi and Zionist leader In 1914 Wise co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) In 1922 Wise founded the Jewish Institute of Religion, an educational center in New York City to train rabbis in Reform Judaism. It was merged into the Hebrew Union College a year after his death In a tribute to Wise on his 60th birthday, [the physicist Albert] Einstein said 'Above all, what I admire in him is his bold activity toward building the self-respect of the Jewish people, combined with profound tolerance and penetrating understanding of everything human' Wise was [also] a close friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who turned to Wise for advice on issues concerning the Jewish community in the United States. In addition, Wise had also acted a liaison to previous President Wilson On November 24, 1942, after being informed by U.S. Under-secretary of State Sumner Welles, Wise held a press conference in Washington, D.C. and announced that the Nazis had a plan for the extermination of all European Jews, and had already killed 2 million; it didn't make front-page news The Stephen Wise Free Synagogue, which he founded in 1907 and served as Rabbi until his death, is named after him, as is Stephen S. Wise Temple in Los Angeles, which was founded by Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin in 1964. A street is named after him in Jerusalem next to the Israel MuseumÂ" Good condition.
