THE FIGHTING JEW by Ralph Nunberg

THE FIGHTING JEW

By

Publisher: Creative Age

A book which dispels the fallacy of Jewish cowardice at a time when anti-semitism is on the increase, and which-through historical example -- proves the heroism of the race. From Biblical times on, personalities and incidents; the revolt and resistance against the Romans, Persians, Mohammedans, Spaniards; Jews who fought in the Revolution, the Civil War; the Dreyfun affair; the first World War; Trumpeldor, Russian born Zionist, who organized the first Jewish Legions and became the Palestinian national hero. This war --closing with the to-the-last-man defense of the Warsaw ghetto. The facts speak for themselves, receive no unnecessary emphasis, and form a record which -- unfortunately -- is needed (but may not be read) in these times.
