The Making of Benjamin Disraeli: Adam Kirsch's New Biography

Submitted by Shalom Freedman, Sep 17, 2008 02:50

This is an informative review of what sounds like a very interesting book. I wonder if the book deals with the question of Disraeli's never have himself contributed to continuing 'the race'- and whether this was deliberate or not. In any case this article already points out Disraeli's very limited and in good part mistaken conception of what 'Jewishness' in all its complexity- truly is.
