Very interesting, but towards the end, after the creation of Israel, the writing slants towards the left. I would think that a "historical atlas" should be impartial, but there is a definite left-wing bias.
OUSTANDING!

This is as fine a single volume atlas of the Jewish people as I have ever seen. Vivid in both illustration and content. A MUST HAVE for anyone wanting an overview of the achievements and distasters that constitute the history of the Jews.
What *doesn't* this book have?

"The Historical Atlas of the Jewish People" is a wonderful reference book on the history of the Jews. It has beautiful photos and maps and any information you could possibly want on the historical and cultural background of Judaism. Great to give as a gift... or keep on your coffee table of browsing.
