* Lew’s review of “The Transfer Agreement: The Dramatic Story of the Secret Pact Between the Third Reich and Jewish Palestine” by Edwin Black … research for the sequel to the recently published “A FLOOD OF EVIL”
*** Edwin Black tells a piece of history which is not well known, perhaps purposely kept from public view because it is so embarrassing to the participants. In 1933, the worldwide Jewish community began a protest versus the antisemitic Nazis who had just come to power by organizing a huge and successful boycott versus German […]

* a review of A GOOD CONVICTION by Jean Poulos (posted on Goodreads Apr 24, 2016) … thank you Jean
*** I found myself not wanting to put the book down. The theme of the book feels like it was taken right out of today’s headlines. Joshua Blake has graduated university and will be starting law school in the fall. He has come to Manhattan to work in a law firm for the summer. Suddenly […]
5 ***** reviews of A FLOOD OF EVIL … thank you Marty, Ann Marie, Peggy, Peter, Judie & Ilene
*** 5 ***** from Marty Fried … posted Sept 13, 2016 I’ve always been interested in the how and why of the Nazi rise to power. There are plenty of stories about the holocaust, the evils of the Nazis, the torture, etc. This book, though, is different. It told about how it got started, and […]
a 5***** review of A FLOOD OF EVIL by Lloyd Liggett … posted on Goodreads Jul 7, 2016 … thank you Lloyd
*** This is one of the best books I have ever read! It is “historical fiction” of the highest order, and a thoroughly engrossing story of the beginning relationship between a young German man and a young Polish-Jewish woman against the backdrop of Hitler’s appearance and rise to power as The Feuhrer. While it follows […]
a 4**** review of THE HERETIC by David Lowther … (posted on Goodreads on Apr 19, 2015) … thank you David
I approached The Heretic with a small amount of trepidation because, as a gentile, I wasn’t certain that I would follow the passages of the explanation of the Jewish faith which I knew to be contained in the book. In the event I needn’t have been concerned at all. Yes there was much of what […]
* a 5***** review of THE HERETIC from Lisa … (posted on Goodreads Sept 30, 2016) … thank you Lisa
*** This historical novel is well-researched and the story is captivating, although difficult to read in places because of the terrible violence perpetrated against Jews and forcibly baptized Christians (and their descendants) suspected of “reverting” to Judaism in medieval Spain. The author captures well the dangers in the lives of these conversos and, for those who wish […]

* why I have not thanked many of you for your comments on my reviews
I have made it a point to thank all Goodreads readers who have commented on or liked my reviews. But three weeks ago I suffered a massive heart attack and, although I am recovering nicely, I have fallen far behind on my thank-you’s and I don’t believe I will have time to catch up, although […]
