Atlas of Jewish History

Newly revised and updated to include new maps, this is the seventh edition of Martin Gilbert's atlas tracing the world-wide migrations of the Jews from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Israel. Spanning over four thousand years of history in over 140 maps, it presents a vivid picture of a fascinating people and the trials and tribulations which have haunted their story. The themes covered include: prejudice and violence; migrations and movements; society and status; trade and culture; and politics, government and war. All students of history, and of Jewish history in particular will find this new edition as useful, helpful and invaluable as its six predecessors.
