Jews, God And History by Max I Dimont
Vitality floods its pages. Philosophers and kings, warriors and merchants, poets and financiers come alive as the story ranges across time and the globe. From ancient Palestine through Europe and the Orient, to America and modern Israel, Max Dimont shows how the saga of the Jews is interwoven with the history of virtually every nation on earth. Brilliantly narrated in a thousand and one episodes, this newly revised and updated edition tells the story of a people escaping annihilation and cultural death, fighting, falling back, advancing. Infused with an almost miraculous life force, they have survived the death of civilizations and have triumphantly contributed to man's spiritual and intellectual heritage for some four thousand years.Max I.Dimont was born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1912 and immigrated to the United States in 1930. He learned English through reading Shakespeare's plays, the Bible, and Finnish translations of American plays. He worked in public relations and employee relations at Edison Brothers Stores in St. Louis after serving in the US Army as an intelligence officer during WWII. Louis taught widely on Jewish history throughout the United States, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, and Finland until his death in 1992, following the initial publication of the popular Jews, God, and History.
