Mordecai
An Early American Family
Emily Bingham
Hill and Wang
"In
Mordecai: An Early American Family
, Emily Bingham brings to life a compelling family whose struggles illuminate the first century of the American Republic. From the American Revolution to the Civil War and beyond, this 'little faithful band of love and duty' balanced their devotion to each other, their Jewish faith, and their identity as Southerners through periods of intellectual, political, and economic turmoil. Drawing on published writings and thousands of letters by the men and women of this articulate family, Emily Bingham tells a vivid and fascinating story. The Mordecais take their place as one of the great American families in this lively, compassionate, and probing group portrait."—

The Accidental Empire
Israel and the Birth of the Settlements, 1967-1977
Gershom Gorenberg
Holt Paperbacks
"Gershom Gorenberg . . . has produced a remarkably insightful third account . . . It's a groundbreaking revision that deserves to reframe the entire debate . . . Yet it still soars. The book works powerfully on two important levels: as a deeply informative counterhistory and as a mournful reminder of what happens when a democratic government acquiesces in the face of its own militants."—

What Do Jews Believe?
The Customs and Culture of Modern Judaism
Edward Kessler
Walker & Company
"Offers just over 100 pages of tightly formatted highlights of the history, significance and practice of the [faith] and concludes with suggestions for further study . . . well-indexed . . . offer[s] more than facts . . . Kessler begins his chapter on Jewish beliefs about God by saying that 'for many Jews, myself included, the encounter with God is more than an acceptance of an intellectual proposition. I believe God cares about humanity and I believe in a personal God.'"—
