Publisher Description
"There is no human being on the face of this earth exempt from the Jewish influence. For as long as there has been history, the Jew has wandered through it, shaping it at times, riding the current silently at other times, but always leaving his mark. History without the Jew? It is inconceivable."-Howard Fast This popular history brings the history of the Jewish people into focus, from Genesis to contemporary times.
