A History of the Jews in the English-Speaking World: Great Britain

Anglo-Jewry in contemporary Britain is widely seen as the most successful and influential minority community. This wide-ranging and controversial history of the British Jews is the first scholarly book to survey the whole of Anglo-Jewish history from medieval times to the present and to interpret this in the wider context of Jewish life throughout the English- speaking world.
