| Marking the 350th anniversary of Jewish settlement in New Amsterdam (now New
York), this outstanding survey emphasizes the religious history of Jews in
America. Since it is difficult to disentangle religious history from the entire
story of how Jews fared generally in the United States, the book provides a
sweeping overview of the trials, tribulations and triumphs of American Jews from
1654 to the present. Sarna writes in sprightly prose, usefully presenting
anecdotes about some unfamiliar people and events.
