This brilliant analysis of American Judaism in the last half of the 20th century won the 1993-94 National Jewish Book Award for the best book on contemporary Jewry and also was named an Outstanding Book of 1993 by Choice. Jack Wertheimer examines how fundamental changes in American society have affected Jewish religious and communal life; paying special attention to contradictions and schisms that threaten the integrity of American Jewish practices and beliefs. A People Divided remains an essential primer for anyone interested in the ongoing debate about what constitutes Jewishness and who is a Jew.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. SS WerwolfBy GavinI really like the way that the german text is included in the book. I feel that Mr. Fagnon did a stand-up job on this and it was interesting to look over. As it is a manual; it doesn't read like a book. Very intriguing content.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The book contains German and English translation. Page for ...By SandraThe book contains German and English translation. Page for page. Left is German; right is English. It would be a very very very small but informative manual. Most modern manuals will have information contained here; the historical value is greatly appreciated.19 of 20 people found the following review helpful. SS Werwolf-Superb and RareBy Jon S.This manual is a superb example; and accurate translation. of a hitherto unknown war document. Many of its principles incorporate techniques of guerilla warfare later adopted by all elite NATO formations worldwide (US Navy Seals; US Army Green Berets; US Marines; British SAS Commandos) and therefore it is critical to have a copy in any high-quality military library. Absolutely superb piece of work.
