Classic work of Jewish history

Salo Baron, one of the greatest Jewish historians of all time, was famous for his injunction against the "lachrymose conception" of Jewish history. In this magisterial work, as in many of his others, Baron shows that Jews were not merely the victims of history but also active agents who were often able to achieve their varied goals.
