The Story of the Jews Volume One

In this magnificently illustrated cultural history&mdashthe tie-in to the PBS and BBC series The Story of the Jews&mdashSimon Schama details the story of the Jewish experience, tracing it across three millennia, from their beginnings as an ancient tribal people to the opening of the New World in 1492 to the modern day.

It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance against destruction, of creativity in oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life against the steepest of odds.
