What They're Saying
Critics 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
