Communism in America

Arthur Hertzberg, professor of Jewish Studies at New York University, is the author of numerous books, including The Zionist Idea: A Historical Analysis and Reader and The French Enlightenment and the Jews: The Origins of Modern Anti-Semitism.

"A useful and scrupulously fair account of what is a true American epic." -- The New York Times Book Review "A trenchant history... Arthur Hertzberg is sounding an alarm that no Jew can afford to ignore if he cares about the survival of American Jewry." -- The Boston Globe "[Hertzberg's] book, which is a product of lived experience as well as wide reading, springs from dedication rather than detachment. It is certainly an affectionate narrative of achievements and of the notable Jews identified with them." -- New York Review of Books
