Jerusalem: One City, Three Faiths by Karen Armstrong, ISBN 0345391683 : "SPLENDID . . . Eminently sane and patient . . . Essential reading for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike." --The Washington Post Venerated for millennia by three faiths, torn by irreconcilable conflict, conquered, rebuilt, and mourned for again and again, Jerusalem is a sacred city whose very sacredness has engendered terrible tragedy. In this fascinating volume, Karen Armstrong, author of the highly praised A History of God, traces the history of how Jews, Christians, and Muslims have all laid claim to Jerusalem as their holy place, and how three radically different concepts of holiness have shaped and scarred the city for thousands of years. Armstrong unfolds a complex story of spiritual upheaval and political transformation--from King David's capital to an administrative outpost of the Roman Empire, from the cosmopolitan city sanctified by Christ to the spiritual center conquered and glorified by Muslims, from the gleaming prize of European Crusaders to the bullet-ridden symbol of the present-day Arab-Israeli conflict. Written with grace and clarity, the product of years of metic...
Rivers of Gold: The Rise of the Spanish Empire, from Columbus to Magellan : RIVERS OF GOLD is the best kind of history: absorbing and authoritative, vast in its erudition and enlightenment, equally serious and riveting. You think you know the story of the "discovery" of the new world, but as the New York Times said about Hugh Thomas's CONQUEST, it is "so dramatic ... that despite its being familiar history you almost don't want to give the story away." It's the story of Fernando and Isabel, one of the most powerful queens in the history of the world; of Columbus and the other sailors who fearlessly and fecklessly made their way to the Caribbean; of the court intrigue in Europe as each empire vied for dominance in the new world; and of the second generation of explorers, most notably, Magellan, who went on to conquer much of the western hemisphere in the name of Christianity and their kings. Thomas sets the stage by establishing the history of religious intolerance in Spain leading up to 1492, recounting the conquest of Grenada and the expulsion from Spain of the Muslims; the Inquisition against the Jews; and Isabel and Fernando's consolidation of power. Religious pe...
The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 : The enactment of the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews depended upon many factors, including the cooperation of local authorities and police departments, and the passivity of the populations, primarily of their political and spiritual elites. Necessary also was the victims' willingness to submit, often with the hope of surviving long enough to escape the German vise. "The Years of Extermination," the completion of Saul Friedlander's major historical opus on Nazi Germany and the Jews, explores the convergence of the various aspects of this most systematic and sustained of modern genocides. In this unparalleled work--based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices from diaries, letters, and memoirs--the history of the Holocaust has found its definitive representation.
A History of the Jews by Paul Johnson, ISBN 0060915331 : The author delivers a brilliant and comprehensive one-volume survey covering 4,000 years of Jewish history. His book is a forceful and sustained analysis of Jewish emergence and an interpretation of how Jewish history, philosophy, ethics, and social and political notions interplay with world history.
The Israelis: Ordinary People in an Extraordinary Land (Updated in 2008) : Israel is smaller than New Jersey yet captures a lion's share of headlines. It looks like one country on CNN, a very different one on al-Jazeera. The BBC has its version, "The New York Times" theirs. But how does Israel look to Israelis? The answers are varied, and they have been brought together here in one of the most original books about Israel in decades. From battlefields to bedrooms to boardrooms, discover the colliding worlds in which an astounding mix of 6.8 million devoutly traditional and radically modern people live. You'll meet "Arab Jews" who fled Islamic countries, dreadlock-wearing Ethiopian immigrants who sing reggae in Hebrew, Christians in Nazareth who publish an Arabic-style "Cosmo," young Israeli Muslims who know more about Judaism than most Jews of the Diaspora, ultra-Orthodox Jews on "Modesty Patrols," and more. Interweaving hundreds of personal stories with intriguing new research, "The Israelis" is lively, irreverent, and always fascinating.
Bielski Brothers, The (Full Frame) : Timed to release day-and-date with the DVD release of "Defiance", "History"(TM) reveals the extraordinary, true story of three brothers who risked their lives to save over 1,200 Jews in the Holocaust. The Bielski brothers managed to do the unthinkable: during WWII, they built a secret makeshift village in the forest of Belarus, and sheltered, and ultimately saved, a community of fellow Jews during the Holocaust. Their tale is easily the largest rescue of Jews by Jews during World War II - yet their story has gone largely untold. Featuring compelling interviews with Bielski Brigade survivors around the world, "The Bielski Brothers" proudly pays tribute to three of the most remarkable unsung heroes of the Holocaust.
The Israel Test : Israel is the crucial battlefield for Capitalism and Freedom in our time. George Gilder's global best-seller "Wealth and Poverty" made the moral case for capitalism. Now Gilder makes the case for Israel, portraying a conflict of barbarism and envy against civilization and creativity. Gilder reveals Israel as a leader of human civilization, technological progress, and scientific advance. Tiny Israel stands behind only the United States in its contributions to the hi-tech economy. Israel has become the world's paramount example of the blessings of freedom. Hatred of Israel, like anti-Semitism through history, arises from resentment of Jewish success. Rooted in a Marxist zero-sum-game theory of economics, this vision has fueled the anti-Semitic rantings of Hitler, Arafat, Osama, and history's other notorious Jew haters.
Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean: How a Generation of Swashbuckling Jews Carved Out an Empire in the New World in Their Quest for Treasure, Religious F : At the end of the 15th century, the Spanish Inquisition had forced many Jews to flee the country. The most adventurous among them had taken to the high seas as freewheeling outlaws. This work tells of the cruelty, terror, and greed that had flourished during the Age of Discovery.
Edith's Story: The True Story of a Young Girl's Courage and Survival During World War II by Edith Velman, ISBN 0553381105 : In 1940, while the Germans occupied Holland, fourteen-year-old Edith van Hessen was filling her diary with the intimate, carefree details of a typical teenager's life -- thoughts about boys, school, her family, her friends, her future. By 1942, as Edith was contemplating her first kiss, the Germans had begun to escalate their war against the Jews. Soon this bright, fun-loving girl was grappling with one of the most unfathomable events in human history. Edith's family -- assimilated Dutch Jews -- were caught in the cross fire of the Holocaust, and Edith began a bitter struggle to survive. In this extraordinary work, Edith Velmans weaves together revealing entries from her diaries with reminiscences and letters smuggled between family members during the occupation. Edith's Story stands as a profoundly important addition to the literature of the Holocaust, documenting one girl's grief, loss, courage, and ultimate triumph over devastating tyranny and despair. For as Edith is hidden in plain sight by a Christian family, we witness how a young woman must deny, bargain with, and finally face the ho...
