Description
"Jews in American Politics brings together for the first time a complete picture of the past, present, and future of Jewish political participation. Years in the making, this monumental work includes thoughtful and original chapters by leading journalists, scholars, and practitioners.
Topics range from Jewish leadership and identity; to Jews in Congress, on the Supreme Court, and in presidential administrations; and on to Jewish influence in the media, the lobbies, and other arenas in which American government operates powerfully, if informally.".
"In addition to the thematic chapters, Jews in American Politics includes more than 400 biographical profiles of prominent Jews throughout American political history and concludes with an invaluable roster of Jews in key governmental positions from ambassadorships and Cabinet posts to federal judges, state governors, and mayors of major cities, along with Jewish population and voting patterns."--BOOK JACKET.
