<div>From the author of Jews, God, and History, this comprehensive history of the Jewish people is &ldquo;an epic drama, searching and nobly conceived&rdquo; (Publishers Weekly). A compelling and readable account of the four thousand year history of a people that spans the globe and transcends the ages. From the ancient and simple faith of a small tribe to a global religion with adherents in every nation, the path of the Jews is traced through countless expulsions and migrations, the great tragedy of the Holocaust, and the joy of founding a homeland in Israel. Putting the struggle of a persecuted people into perspective, Max Dimont asks whether the tragic sufferings of the Jews have actually been the key to their survival, as other nations and races vanished into obscurity. Here is a book for Jews and non-Jews to enjoy, evoking a proud heritage while offering a hopeful vision of the future.</div>

The Indestructible Jews

<div>&ldquo;A wondrous tale of American Judaism&rdquo; from the Colonial Era to the twentiethcentury, by the acclaimed author of Jews, God, and History (Kirkus Reviews). Beginning with the Sephardim who first reached the shores of America in the 1600s, this fascinating book by historian Max Dimont traces the journey of the Jews in the United States. It follows the various waves of immigration that brought people and families from Germany, Russia, and beyond; recounts the cultural achievements of those who escaped oppression in their native lands; and discusses the movement away from Orthodoxy and the attitudes of American Jews&mdash;both religious and secular&mdash;toward Israel. From the author of Jews, God, and History, which has sold more than one million copies and was called &ldquo;unquestionably the best popular history of the Jews written in the English language&rdquo; by the LosAngeles Times, this is a compelling account by an author who was himself an immigrant, raised in Helsinki, Finland, before arriving at Ellis Island in 1929 and going on to serve in army intelligence in World War II.</div>

The Jews in America

<div>The acclaimed author of Jews, God, and History considers the historical Jesus &ldquo;in the spirited, witty, fascinating manner in which his scholarship excels&rdquo; (Bookviews). Biblical historian Max Dimont, author of the classic Jews, God, and History, explores the mystery surrounding the predictions Jesus made about his fate. Examining the gospel, Dimont re-creates the drama in three acts using his knowledge of the events recorded in the Bible. Thoughtful and fascinating, Appointment in Jerusalem examines the questions that have surrounded religion for centuries. Who was Jesus, the Christian messiah or a member of a Jewish sect? Dimont&rsquo;s insight is intelligent and surprising.</div>
