Very good in Good jacket. Format is 8.75 inches by 11.25 inches. xviii, 582 pages. Illustrations. Appendices. Index. Inscribed by the author on fep. DJ has several edge tears and slight wear and soiling. Kurt F. Stone is a man who wears many hats: writer, professor, lecturer, historian, medical ethicist, ordained rabbi and occasional actor. A graduate of the University of California (where he had a triple major in American history, philosophy and political science), the Eagleton Institute of Politics and the Hebrew Union College, holds a B.A., M.A.H.L. and D.D. For nearly 50 years Kurt has been a political writer and strategist on both the national and state level. His is the author of two seminal works on the United States Congress, and has published more than 700 political essays. Based on some 100 interviews over a decade of research, a South Florida rabbi and Broward Community College instructor provides an encyclopedic look at the backgrounds and careers of 179 Jewish members of the US Congress from Bella Abzug to Edward Zorinsky including Joseph Lieberman. Appended material breaks out the Jewish count by state, House and Senate, and by congressional session since 1841-43 when the first Jewish Congressman was elected. The requisite ten for a "minyan" (prayer group) wasn't reached until 1921-23. At the time of publication there had been 179 Jewish members of Congress, including 124 attorneys, 44 graduates of Ivy League schools, 25 judges, 4 Ambassadors, and 1 cabinet secretary.
