Summary:

Tracing the world-wide migrations of the Jews from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Israel, this newly updated edition spans over four thousand years of history in 140 maps. It presents a vivid picture of a fascinating people and the trials and tribulations which have haunted their story. The themes covered include: Prejudice and Violence -- from the destruction of Jewish independence between 722 and 586 BC to the Chmielnicki Massacres 1648-1656 and the flight from German persecution in the 1930s - Migrations and Movements -- from the entry into the Promised Land to the exodus from Ethiopia between 1974 and 1984. - Society and Status -- from the geography of the Jews of China between 1000 and 1932 to the situation of the New York Jewry in 1900 and the position of the Jews of Syria. - Trade and Culture -- from Jewish trade routes between 800 and 900 to the use of Hebrew printing presses between 1444 and 1860 and communal life in the ghettoes. - Politics, Government and War -- from the Court Jews of the fifteenth century to the founding, wars and progress of the modern State of Israel.
