On Modern Jewish Politics (Studies in Jewish History (Oxford Paperback))
"Mendelsohn's fine overview of Jewish politics...fills a conspicuous vacuum, often brilliantly....All in all, this is an impartial, highly competent, and instructive book."--American Historical Review"Very spirited and controversial...A first-rate book."--Jewish Chronicle"An invaluable history of the reaction of Europe's Jews to the vast changes brought about by 20th-century political upheavals."--Choice"Ezra Mendelsohn's dissection of modern Jewish politics is immensely informative and clear, and it is enriched with abundant supportive examples from the spheres of literature, art, and music. Although political history is one of the most developed areas in the study of other European peoples, only lately has Jewish political behavior begun to be analyzed in analogous terms, and in this field Mendelsohn is one of a small number of pioneering scholars."--Commentary
