History of the Jews: An Enthralling Guide from Ancient Times to the Present

How could the Jews comprise less than 1 percent of the world’s population yet make up 22 percent of Nobel laureates?

Despite passing through innumerable challenges, the Jews have produced stunningly gifted people in the sciences, humanities, and economics. Through the millennia and around the world, Jewish history is an astounding story of survival against all odds, yet a touching narrative of faith, covenant, and tradition.

This concise yet sweeping history of the Jewish people introduces Judaism, the Torah, and Biblical history, followed by an engaging journey of the Jews through the Greek, Roman, and Muslim empires. It travels through waves of persecution, beginning with the Crusades and coming to a violent head under the Nazi regime. This audiobook dives into the new State of Israel, its struggles to survive, and how it has thrived in recent years. It unpacks the riveting and sometimes tragic stories of Jews who left their mark on history and a people who continue to play an illustrious role on the world stage.
