“Now, finally, the book I—and with me undoubtedly many others—had been waiting for has at long last been produced. It is Howard Sachar's A History of the Jews in America... . Sachar's mastery as a historian has been amply demonstrated by his previous works ... on the history of modern Israel and the contemporary Middle East. In the present book, it has reached a new peak.”
—Raphael Patai, Midstream
“Howard M. Sachar is one of the leading historians of the Jews in the contemporary era, and his new book on the history of the Jews in America clearly will add to this reputation... . There have been previous attempts to write a one-volume history of American Jewry, but no one has treated the source material with such interpretive force.”
— Jerusalem Post
“A historian of exceptional talent and nerve ... Mr. Sachar's splendid gifts have not deserted him in this huge work, which is likely to be remembered as his magnum opus... . Here is the American Jewish experience in all its dazzling diversity ... Splendidly accessible.”
— Washington Times
“With this comprehensive, insightful, and spirited opus, Sachar rises to the position of preeminent Jewish historian of our day... . This immensely readable tome offers several centuries' worth of crystallized energy.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“The most comprehensive single volume as yet written on the subject ... A signal achievement furnishing a valuable aperçu for scholars and an abundance of historical insights for lay readers.”
— Library Journal
“An immense and impressive orchestration of scholarship and story letting ... An impressive, frank, and learned social history of a people who are simultaneously unique and archetypical of the human condition.”
