About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Revisionist rubbish and an insult to Jews. If you believe in the Torah, this guy definitely doesn’t.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I 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.
