The Holocaust and Israel Reborn
A collection of essays, most of them published previously. Partial contents:
After the Holocaust
A Winner of the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa 2023 Bernard Lewis Prize The chapters in this volume examine a few facets in the drama of how the survivors of the Holocaust contended with life after the darkest night in Jewish history. They include the Earl Harrison mission and significant report, the effort to keep Europe’s borders open to refugee infiltration, the murder of the first Jew in Germany after V-E Day and its aftermath, and the iconic sculptures of Nathan Rapoport and Poland’s landscape of Holocaust memory up to the present day. Joining extensive archival research and a limpid prose, Professor Monty Noam Penkower again displays a definitive mastery of his craft.
Palestine to Israel
Volume 1. Rebellion launched, 1945-1946 -- volume 2. Into the international arena, 1947-1948
Decision on Palestine Deferred
Professor Penkower's latest book, Decision on Palestine Deferred, offers the first sustained, documented account of Palestine and the Anglo-American alliance during the Second World War. Firmly grounded in three decades of archival research, his spirited narrative offers a fascinating cast of characters against the backdrop of the larger Middle Eastern context. The latter relates to Jewish and Arab activities during the War, the grave threat of Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps, U.S. interest in Saudi Arabian oil, and the effort to achieve Arab unity.

Awakening to Radical Islamist Evil
This volume offers the first daily account of the war forced upon the State of Israel by Hamas's brutal attack on its southern communities near the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023. Focusing on the initial six months of that war, Professor Monty Penkower examines in detail its local, regional, and international significance. Joining extensive research and a limpid prose, as in his many other books on modern Jewish history, this prize-winning historian again displays a definitive mastery of his craft.
The Swastika's Darkening Shadow
The spread of anti-Semitism across Europe before World War II has received strikingly little comprehensive study. Drawing on newspapers, magazines, diaries, diplomatic correspondence, organizational reports, and a variety of other sources, this history reveals how imperiled European Jews navigated their world as darkness closed about.
The Jews Were Expendable
"Graphically demonstrates how disbelief, indifference, antisemitism, and, above all, the political expediency of the West doomed a powerless European Jewry to Hitler's 'Final Solution' ... Charts the free world's tragic failure to respond decisively to the Holocaust."--Back cover.
