Story of the jews: finding the words 1000bce-1492ce

This landmark book stretches from Moses to modern times, from the Hebrew invention of a single God to the birth of modernism and the horrors of the 20th century. But it is also a raucous story, taking in the Jewish joke, Jewish sportsmen, Yiddish theatre, painting and music. In short, it is an indispensable work of world history by one of our most dynamic and distinguished historians.
