Review

"Elegantly crafted, studded with carefully balanced and shrewd judgments, and brimming with original and intelligent observations." - David B.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent history, 16 April 2003
By B. Tovey (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a well-written and accessible history, which gives an illuminating insight into the growth and development of the Jewish comunity in Britain. The illustrations are well-chosen and the book is well set out in successive chronological periods, giving a constructive overview of the topic whilst also providing a lot of useful and fascinating details from statistical, literary and historical sources.
