Courte biographie
Benzion Netanyahu was born Benzion Mileikowsky in Warsaw, then part of the Russian Empire, to a Jewish family. His father was a rabbi and Zionist activist, and in 1920 took his family to the British Mandate of Palestine. It was common practice for emigrants to adopt Hebrew names after their arrival. Netanyahu attended a teachers seminary and Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he majored in history. He specialized in the history of medieval Spanish Jews and was the author of several books, including his magnum opus, The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth Century Spain (1995). In the 1930s, Netanyahu became active in the Revisionist Zionist movement and moved to New York City to serve as the personal secretary of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the "father" of the movement. He also served as executive director of the New Zionist Organization of America. In 1944, he married Tzila Segal, and the couple had three sons, including future Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Following Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, Netanyahu returned to Israel and became the chief editor of the Encyclopaedia Hebraica. In 1957, he went back to the USA to teach in the Hebrew Language Department of Dropsie College in Philadephia and the Hebraic Studies Department of the University of Denver. Later he became a professor of Judaic Studies at Cornell University.
In the late summer of 1976, the family returned to live in Israel permanently.

Critiques

I gave this book five stars because Netanyahu takes the subject seriously and has done meticulous research. It ain't no easy read.

NO OF PAGES: 1384 SUB CAT I: Spanish Jews SUB CAT II: Anti-Semitism SUB CAT III: History DESCRIPTION: The Spanish Inquisition was responsible for one of the fiercest repressions in human history. It fused the triple evil of a police state, a totalitarian ideology, and racial persecution. This work is outstanding and thorough.NOTES: SUBTITLE: In Fifteenth Century Spain
