The Highest Form of Wisdom
A pioneer of Holocaust education in the United States, Saul S. Friedman (1937-2013) was born on March 8, 1937 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. After receiving his Ph. D. from Ohio State University in 1969, he became a professor in the history department at Youngstown State University, where he taught for nearly forty years. In that time, he developed an international reputation as a leading scholar of the Holocaust, publishing twelve books, dozens of articles and award winning documentaries. He was a leader in the Youngstown Jewish community as well, and he received numerous awards for his service, including the Guardian of the Menorah Award from B'Nai B'rith, the Triumphant Spirit Award from the Youngstown Jewish Community Relations Council, and the Ohio Humanities Council's Richard Bjornson Lifetime Achievement Award for Service to the Humanities. He was also instrumental in the establishment of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The culmination of his work came in 2000, when he received an endowment from the Clayman Family of Youngstown to establish a Judaic Studies program at YSU.
A History of the Holocaust
A History of the Holocaust is a detailed, factual account of what happened across Europe during the Holocaust, with balanced coverage of each country. The Holocaust was unique within the context of the Second World War because Jews were disproportionately represented among the civilian casualties in that conflict. Over fifty million people died as a result of the application of total war. Twelve per cent of these were Jews. At the time, Jews constituted less than one-quarter of one per cent of the world's population. This book is intended as a textbook, not a philosophical interpretation of the Holocaust. Written in a highly accessible style, it is addressed to students and will inspire them to read more about the subject and to question the problems of the world.
Land of Dust
The author studies the nature of the land of Palestine and the level of civilization attained by its residents at the turn of the century, employing the reactions of contemporary eyewitnesses along with a set of photographs prepared by T.W. Ingersoll and G. Eric Matson (the original photographs were color-tinted, and copyrighted by Ingersoll in 1904).
The Belligerent Buddha
The Belligerent Buddha by Norma Alford is a delightful work of crime and mystery encircling a quirky detective by the name of J.T. Stretcher, who works for the Jericho Popplar Detective Agency. She is introduced to a chic middle-aged widow by the name of Zelda Morgenstern, who wishes to hire her to find an unusual piece of art that has disappeared from her home. She refers to it as the 'Belligerent Buddha' and describes it as a 500-lb. statue made of green jade, which appears to have a scowl on its face, hence, the name. J.T. endeavors to determine how such a large piece could possibly be removed from a second-floor ballroom without someone noticing. With very little to go on, she dives into...
No Haven for the Oppressed
No Haven for the Oppressed is the most thorough and the most comprehensive analysis to be written to date on the United States policy toward Jewish refugees during World War II. No Haven for the Oppressed is the most thorough and the most comprehensive analysis to be written to date on the United States policy toward Jewish refugees during World War II. Friedman draws upon many sources for his history, significantly upon papers which have only recently been opened to public scrutiny. These include State Department Records at the National Archives and papers relating to the Jewish refugee question at the Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park. Such documents serve as the foundation for this study, to...
Jews and the American Slave Trade
The Nation of Islam's Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews has been called one of the most serious anti-Semitic manuscripts published in years. This work of so-called scholars received great celebrity from individuals like Louis Farrakhan, Leonard Jeffries, and Khalid Abdul Muhammed who used the document to claim that Jews dominated both transatlantic and antebellum South slave trades. As Saul Friedman definitively documents in Jews and the American Slave Trade, historical evidence suggests that Jews played a minimal role in the transatlantic, South American, Caribbean, and antebellum slave trades.Jews and the American Slave Trade dissects the questionable historical technique employe...
Strategic Air Power in Desert Storm
In response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on the second of August 1990, a small group of air power advocates in the Pentagon proposed a strategic air campaign - "Operation Desert Storm" designed to drive the Iraqi army from Kuwait by a sustained effort against the major sources of Iraqi national power. John Andreas Olsen provides a coherent and comprehensive examination of the origins, evolution and implementation of this campaign. His findings derive from official military and political documentation, interviews with United States Air Force officers who were closely involved with the planning of the campaign and Iraqis with detailed knowledge and experience of the inner workings of the Iraqi regime.
