About this audiobook

"There is no human being on the face of this earth exempt from the Jewish influence. For as long as there has been history, the Jew has wandered through it, shaping it at times, riding the current silently at other times, but always leaving his mark. History without the Jew? It is inconceivable."-Howard Fast This popular history brings the history of the Jewish people into focus, from Genesis to contemporary times.

Author

Howard Fast

Howard Fast (1914–2003) was one of the most prolific American writers of the twentieth century. He was a bestselling author of more than eighty works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenplays. The son of immigrants, Fast grew up in New York City and published his first novel upon finishing high school in 1933. In 1950, his refusal to provide the United States Congress with a list of possible Communist associates earned him a three-month prison sentence. During his incarceration, Fast wrote one of his best-known novels, Spartacus (1951). Throughout his long career, Fast matched his commitment to championing social justice in his writing with a deft, lively storytelling style.

    Revisionist rubbish and an insult to Jews. If you believe in the Torah, this guy definitely doesn’t.

    I was drawn to this book because I wanted to learn more about the Jewish people, but I was turned away because of the authors presumptions about the God of the Jews. It's a big responsibility to explain who the God of the Bible is, and this author comes up very short.
