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.
I Will Bear Witness: A Diary of the Nazi Years 1933-19451 by Victor Klemperer, ISBN 0375753788 : The publication of Victor Klemperer's secret diaries brings to light one of the most extraordinary documents of the Nazi period. "In its cool, lucid style and power of observation," said The New York Times, "it is the best written, most evocative, most observant record of daily life in the Third Reich." I Will Bear Witness is a work of literature as well as a revelation of the day-by-day horror of the Nazi years. A Dresden Jew, a veteran of World War I, a man of letters and historian of great sophistication, Klemperer recognized the danger of Hitler as early as 1933. His diaries, written in secrecy, provide a vivid account of everyday life in Hitler's Germany. What makes this book so remarkable, aside from its literary distinction, is Klemperer's preoccupation with the thoughts and actions of ordinary Germans: Berger the greengrocer, who was given Klemperer's house ("anti-Hitlerist, but of course pleased at the good exchange"), the fishmonger, the baker, the much-visited dentist. All offer their thoughts and theories on the progress of the war: Will England hold out? Who listens to Goebb...
Hollywood Vs. The Mob: Fact Vs. Fiction : With the assassination of JFK in Dallas in November of 1963 and the fall of Cuba to Communism, America entered a new chapter in its history. It was also a time when the American Mob entered a new chapter. It was a Mob no longer defined by the once unyielding code of 'omerta' - the Sicilian code of silence. A Mob no longer led by the colorful characters that saw it rise from the Roaring Twenties, through the Depression to the Cold War. The American Mob began at the turn of the 20th Century as immigrants from Europe began pouring into cities along the East Coast, particularly New York City. Poor and isolated, these immigrant Jews, Irish and Italians banded together to develop their own version of the American Dream. A unique form of business called organized crime. Through newspapers and film, the leaders of organized crime became household names, often lionized in the mold of true American heroes, the rugged frontier individualists of the past. These names included Al Capone, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky. This series, "Hollywood Vs. The Mob: Fact Vs. Fiction", will reveal the truth behind t...
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...
