Good morning all,
Paul Johnson also wrote one of the more definitive single volume histories
of the Jews, called, logically enough, "A history of the Jews." It is
magnificent! I believe it is on bookshare, if not, I can upload it, as I
have it scanned.
Best,
Brian Miller

You've read most of the Paul Johnson book? Congrats. That's quite a good
