How have the Jews survived? For millennia they have defied odds by overcoming the travails of exile persecution & recurring plans for their annihilation Many have attempted to explain this singular success as a result of divine intervention In this engaging book David N Myers charts the long journey of the Jews through history At the same time it points to two unlikely-and decidedly this-worldly-factors to explain the survival of the Jews antisemitism & assimilation Usually regarded as grave dangers these two factors have continually interacted with one other to enable the persistence of the Jews At every turn in their history not just in the modern age Jews have adapted to new environments cultures languages & social norms These bountiful encounters with host societies have exercised the cultural muscle of the Jews preventing the atrophy that would have occurred if they had not interacted so extensively with the non-Jewish world It is through these encounters-indeed through a process of assimilation-that Jews came to develop distinct local customs speak many different languages & cultivate diverse musical culinary & intellectual traditions Left unchecked the Jews' well-honed ability to absorb from surrounding cultures might have led to their disappearance & yet the route toward full & unbridled assimilation was checked by the nearly constant presence of hatred toward the Jew Anti-Jewish expression & actions have regularly accompanied Jews throughout history Part of the ironic success of antisemitism is its malleability its talent in assuming new forms & portraying the Jew in diverse & often contradictory images-for example at once the arch-capitalist & revolutionary Communist Antisemitism not only served to blunt further assimilation but in a paradoxical twist affirmed the Jew's sense of difference from the host society & thus together assimilation & antisemitism (at least up to a certain limit) contribute to the survival of the Jews as a highly adaptable & yet distinct group ...

Ever since President John F Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas fifty years ago various theories have swirled around what was a key event in American
- & world
- history Whatever the conclusions of the US official Warren Report
- that the President had been assassinated by a lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald
- many people doubt that to be true Indeed President Nixon later admitted on tape that the report was 'a hoax committed on the American people' John Hughes-Wilson a former colonel in British Intelligence set out in 2007 to go through the millions of words & thousands of pieces of evidence to put together an intelligence jigsaw of what really happened that dreadful high noon in Dallas in 1963 The result is a dramatic exposure of what actually took place & a clear indication that while some of the pieces of that jigsaw may be missing the truth is emerging While the US Federal Archive still keeps a million documents relating to the case under lock & key it is beyond reasonable doubt that Jack Kennedy was the victim of a plot to remove the President of the United States John Hughes-Wilson highlights the facts behind why Marilyn Monroe had to be silenced LBJ's corrupt secrets the Kennedys' secret Cuban coup plans how the mafia manipulated politicians & the CIA & how the assassination was covered up Reading this book no one can be in any doubt that JFK's death was not at the hands of a lone deranged gunman but a deadly plot to remove a President who threatened vested interests at home & abroad
