About this product

Product Information

What an extraordinary chronicle of upheaval, sorrow, and achievement is the story of the Jews in the twentieth century-and who better to narrate it than the renowned British historian Sir Martin Gilbert, whose lifework has been the study of the events and personages of our time. In this richly illustrated volume he vividly describes the individuals, the historic movements, the watershed moments, and the horrific years that so profoundly changed the world and the Jewish people. In a text interwoven with and illuminated by more than 400 fascinating photographs, many of them never before published or long forgotten, we meet the widely dispersed turn-of-the-century Jewish communities of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Then we encounter, with startling immediacy, the impassioned Zionists who set out to reclaim Palestine and the immigrant waves that poured out of Eastern Europe in search of a better life in America-among them, the brilliantly creative writers, composers, actors, and comedians who enthralled millions; and the scientists, judges, legislators, entrepreneurs, and intellectuals whose numbers can hardly be counted but whose thoughts and deeds shaped the modern world. There is tragedy in this history: the twentieth century saw many dark years during which the Jewish people suffered pogroms, persecution, and mass murder. But the century also saw the renewal and flourishing of the Jewish community, in America, in Israel, and throughout the Diaspora. The observant, the secular, the people gathered from the ends of the earth-all figure in the vivid portrait of the Jews at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Sir Martin relates this astonishing and deeply moving story with the erudition and empathy that have always distinguished his writing, and with a masterful eye for the key point, the telling anecdote, the human detail that makes history come alive. While our memories are still fresh, he has fixed them indelibly in a volume that will be treasured, pored over, and passed down as the rich and definitive record of Jewish life in the twentieth century.

Reviews
"A straightforward and admirably lucid text...a treasure trove of photographs....In the clean intelligence of its narrative perspective and the richness of its illustrations, THE JEWS IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY merits an appreciative and discriminating audience among cultured and sentient readers of all backgrounds." --Howard M. Sachar, Moment, December 2001 "Gilbert's goal for this book was to show the accomplisments of the Jews even as they confronted tragedy. Jewish participation in the two world wars, the quest for Israeli statehood, and the everyday life of the countries they came to call home reign impotant as Gilbert touches upon the contritubions of a variety of Jewish communities. While he presents fresh anecdotes about the people who have gained worldwide attention, he slso leaves space for some startling information uncovered during his 45 years of historical research." --Suzanne Chessler, Jewish News (Detroit), November 23, 2001 "Mr. Gilbert's previous books have afforded him an epoch- and world-spanning view enjoyed by few historians. Such a broad and complex story as the journey of Jews through the century is surely his to write. Making occasional allusions to his own family's experience of Jewish history, Mr. Gilbert leads his readers through the decades both chronologically and thematically. With what at times seems to be first-hand knowledge of people and events, he provides memorable anecdotes that serve as closeups within the landscape portrait of history that the book provides. . . . At its best, "The Jews in the Twentieth Century" provides a welcome wide-angle view of a time that is often too emotionally difficult to examine in detail. --Peter Manseau, Forward, October 26, 2001 "This 100-year chronicle of Jewish history, practice, culture, art and survival is informative, succinctly written and handsomely produced. Gilbert, the official biographer of Winston Churchill and noted historian, has written a text that carefully and lucidly intertwines an enormous range of people, events, themes and ideas. . . But the backbone and glory of volume are its more then 350 photographs." --Publishers Weekly, 9/17/01
