<p><strong>'<em>The Jews: A History</em> is in its own class as a one-volume, comprehensive work. Superb for introductory to graduate courses, it is furthermore an essential reference for all scholars whose work engages Jewish Studies in any discipline. This book succeeds remarkably in providing historically-grounded narratives and analyses of critical events. It brilliantly illuminates the pathways, which are notoriously difficult to navigate without a trusted guide, in the complex historiography concerning the Jews.'</strong></p><p>Michael Berkowitz, <em>University College London, UK</em></p>
