David Cesarani reveals in this stimulating and wide-ranging study, the relationship between the Jews and the Left, which is far deeper and far richer than many people now realise. This edition – printed 16 years on – has a foreword by former prime minister Gordon Brown and a new introduction by Cesarani’s widow Dawn Waterman.
A really good short history of the relationship between Jews and the left, and one which deserves to be more widely read. It ends on a note of optimism about the future which I wish I shared.
