Recenzii

We can read Mel Young's volume as a way of honoring those Jewish dead who answered the call of North and South and made the ultimate sacrifice.
An engrossing study of Jewish Americana. Useful for both the circulating and reference collections.
...an indispensable researcher's tool, and a'must' for the library of anyone who is interested in Jewish American history, or is a Civil War 'Buff'.
The author has done a commendable job of researching the topic. This volume can be recommended to Jewish Civil War buffs and students of Jewish history.
Young has truly said Kaddish in his own way by reverently retelling the often forgotten stories of the Jews who died fighting for the North and South.
The importance of this book lies in the fact that it fills a gap in the history of American Jews....The book also features personal letters as well as official testimonies. Thus, Young has compiled a record that adds to materials documenting human aspects of the Civil War.
...thoughtful, sensitive and fascinating accounts....
...told lovingly, reverently....Included within Young's study are letters, battle reports, maps, newspaper accounts, photographs of gravestones and individuals, military service records and Jewish Medal of Honor winners. A masterful attempt is made to frame each death in the general circumstances of the war....
Mel Young's work should be given to every American Jewish child. They need to know that in our nation's most difficult days, fighting Jews were there.
Having served as the VII Corps Jewish Chaplain during Operation Desert Shield-Desert Storm, I have come to appreciate more acutely the role of the Jewish soldier in combat operations. Mel Young's portrait... has brought to light an important segment of American Jewish history....
...a unique contribution...
