A brilliant condensed tour,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Heritage: Civilization and the Jews (Hardcover)
Abba Eban the former Israeli Ambassador at the UN and Foreign Minister here provides a deluxe tour of the Jewish contribution to human civilization. He writes with masterful elegance and his deep connection to , knowledge of Jewish and world civilization inform this work throughout. This is a valuable gift for all who would understand how one small people played such a central role in the history of Mankind.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Even Better Than The Classic PBS Series It Inspired,
By Notnadia (Currently upstairs.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heritage: Civilization and the Jews (Hardcover)
The spectrum of Judaism, from pre-Abrahamic desert herders in the Fertile Crescent, thru the struggles for modern Israel, 4,000-plus years of the earth's most unique people are told in Eban's professorial overview. Eban's delivery of Jewish history is more humanistic than theistic, impartially non-biased rather than congratulatory. He is a master historian and writer and this is one of the best studies of a culture ever composed.
