The Saga of the Worlds most prominent minority...

The history of the world most prominent minority, the Jewish People, is a fascinating sad and melancholy journey. The book is a very insightful analysis and synthesis of the Jewish people's sojourn through the history of Eastern Europe... Extremely relevant and puts the current world crisis in the Middle East in perspective. If you want to understand Israel today, read this book.
