Library Journal

The Arab-Israeli dilemma, Christian-Jewish relations, Jewish assimilation in America, the Holocaust, and the future of American Jewry are just a few of the concerns covered in this collection of brilliant no-holds-barred essays by Hertzberg, a distinguished professor-scholar (Dartmouth and NYU) and perceptive observer of the Jewish experience. These essays cover the last decade; several have previously appeared in The New York Review of Books . Perhaps the most cogent and provocative are those dealing with the Arab-Israeli conflict. (Hertzberg favors an Arab Palestinian state on the West Bank.) A stimulating, argumentative collection recommended for large Judaica collections.-- Robert A. Silver, Shaker Heights P.L., Ohio
