Gentile loves these Jews

Here is a true American masterpiece. Rife with descriptions of the splendor of the land, the squalor of poverty, the fear of oppression, and the joy of triumph. Jews in America have been, for almost 100 years, the single most successful ethnos in the country, and have been jealously attacked for gaining that success. Stephen Isaacs has compiled a detailed record of settlement, development, and difference. In so doing, he describes a panorama of people, small in number but alive with ideas and potential, while at the same time being divided by language, culture, and faith. He brilliantly relates the growth of Jewish immigration to the growth of America herself, and the changes in the economics, ethnography, and physical geography of cities. And he adds real personal insight--the most necessary ingredient to a successful book. READ IT!
