Wow! This book was very long and extremely depressing. It is a thick, dense collection of facts, the history of Jewish civilization, Jewish leadership (political, secular, theological, thought) and the relationship of Jews to their ancestral home land, other nation states and other religions. The epilogue and analysis at the end is very good and makes the book worth reading. But the unbearable hardships of constant oppression, repeated genocides over 3 millenia, and the suffering they have borne is much much too heartbreaking. 3 out of 5 stars.
