Spanning over four thousand years of history in over 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 migrations and movements society and status trade and culture politics, government and war. All students of history, and of Jewish history in particular will find this new edition as useful, helpful and invaluable as its six predecessors.
