Louis Brandeis Slept Here: A Slightly Cynical History of American Jews

A tongue-in-cheek history of Jews in America which is alternatively cynical, humorous, irreverent and serious. A popularly-written history from 1654 to the present, the book takes us from Colonial America to intermarriage in present times. It covers such controversial issues as Jews and Blacks, American Jews and Israel, and Jews and politics, with each point being analyzed through the eyes of history and a strong dose of irreverence. "Professor Graetz meets Jackie Mason in this easy-reading American Jewish history with plenty of facts, insights, chutzpah and shtick." Kirkus Reviews
