Part of the Judaism and Jewish Life series
See all formats and editions

Professor Geoffrey Alderman is the acknowledged authority on the history of the Jews in modern Britain.

During an academic career spanning forty years he has produced some of the most authoritative and controversial studies in this field, lighting up the dark corners of the Jewish existence in Great Britain and revealing secrets the Anglo-Jewish communities would rather have kept from public view.

In this book he presents sixteen of these essays, covering fields as disparate as the history of the Jewish vote in the UK, the true story of the British Chief Rabbinate, and the uneasy tenure of Sir Jonathan Sacks in that office.

He also considers the role of the historian in Anglo-Jewish life, and the troubled careers of some of its leaders and scholars.
