This book remains on my bookshelves as one of my favorites. It's hard to believe because historical writings are not typically high on my list. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.

Tightrope - A Book Review
Michael Karpin's books Tightrope is a captivating read. Recommended for high school students and above, this is a great way to learn about a piece of Jewish history.
