Reviews

""In these troubled times, this book’s exploration of the portrayal of changing relationships between Jewish and American identities in novels about war across the twentieth century, and its focus on positive representations of Jewish characters in fiction, is most timely."" Anthony Lake, University of Roehampton ""What does it mean to be a Jew, an American, and a soldier? Ohad Reznick offers original insight into a century of fiction to re-examine ideas of Jewish identity."" Raffaele Esposito, University of Naples L’Orientale
