Recenzje

'… Eli Lederhendler's panoramic new survey, conveys the mastery and depth of insight one would expect from this wide-ranging and prolific scholar. As would any worthwhile work of intellectual synthesis, Lederhendler's book creates new cloth out of threads pulled from decades of historical observation.' Marni Davis, The American Jewish Archives Journal
