5.0 out of 5 stars Jewish history from a social perspective., August 22, 1998
This is richly written and deeply emotional history of the Jews. The author, Simon Dubnov, wrote his tale from a social rather than a religious perspective, giving an excellent account of Jewish life and events from ancient times to the 20th Century. Particularly moving is the thought that the Russian Dubnov, whose life was so intensely dedicated to the preservation and telling of Jewish story, should die at the onset of the Holocaust, and thus be spared the living of this final and most horrific episode.

If your library contains but one volume of history in this field, let it be Dubnov's.
