I have been Jewish for 60 years. Never have I read a work which has so enlightened me to the origins of Judaism and the amazing differences between this religion and the others which existed prior to and after the establishment of our faith. The author, a self admitted Gentile, has achieved insights into the success of Judaism and the causes for Jew hatetred among the Gentiles of the world.

This simple book, recommended by the extraordinary writer, teacher, philosofer and wit, Mr. Dennis Prager, is a MUST READ, for inquisative and open minded folks, regardless of race, creed, political or sexual orientation!!!!!!

I recommend this book to all.
