This meticulously researched account explores their participation in key battles, codebreaking efforts, and resistance movements. Discover the stories of unsung heroes and gain a deeper understanding of the Jewish community's unwavering commitment to freedom.
For historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the full scope of Jewish participation in WWII, Fighting Back is an essential read.

Hardback. Zustand: New. This book is a response to the oft-perpetrated myths of Anglo-Jewry's lack of fighting spirit and its failure to participate in the Second World War. Anglo-Jewry has never formed more than about one half of one per cent of the population, yet the figures show that their contribution to the armed forces has always been out of proportion to their numbers. Fighting Back provides an insight into the Anglo-Jewish contribution to the Allied victories over the Nazi and Japanese threats. The book also highlights the role of the Jews in the Spanish Civil War and the Korean War. Its wide-ranging approach to the contributions that Jews made looks at, among other things: the paratroopers at the Battle of Arnhem; the much neglected and almost forgotten Auxiliary Services of Civil Defense; the Jews at Bletchley Park; and the Jewish-Palestinian volunteers from Israel. Anglo-Jewry, together with Jews from Israel, may thus be deeply and justly proud of this history of fighting back, fighting for democracy, and fighting for peace. This book will stand as permanent testimony to the truth. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9780853039006
