'What I have tried to do is to bring together a series of documents which
afford the student the opportunity of gaining some sense of what Jewish life
was like during the period covered by the book. I hope that those who use this
book will come to appreciate the fact that Jews were real people concerned with
real things.' - Preface. The first chapter is 'The Expulsion from Spain,' and
the last chapter is titled 'Workers of the world - Unite.' Very good hardcover.
