Ted Blum's grandparents were forced to embark on a journey that would shape them and their future generations' lives. With the backdrop of Europe and World War I on their doorstep, Blum's family became outstanding examples of courage and determination as they sought out a new life in America. This story puts a human face to the countless masses who immigrated to the United States as the threat of war and persecution loomed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. David Abraham, Senior Fellow of the American Leadership Forum, Professor of Urban Environmental Planning and Policy, Rice University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI thoroughly enjoyed reading Calculated Risks. First of all it was a learning experience for me with regards to: the fluidity of Central European country boundaries; the precious nature of cultural political identity differences among people, and how that can devolve into wars; and lastly the separate but endemic position that the Jews adopted in Central Europe. This historical book reads well and would be suitable for general as well as academic discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54110065983761,"sku":"NIN9798889268512","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":54689924514065,"sku":"CINB0CH28R44KVG","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798889268512.jpg?v=1786250908","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/calculated-risks-book-ted-blum-9798889268512","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
