Reviews
"The essays in this collection constitute a fitting overview of Frankel's great strengths as a scholar, highlighting his versatility and ability to integrate his vast knowledge of Russian, European, and Jewish history into larger contexts. His syntheses of these questions provide us with an opportunity to look at historical questions in innovative ways. Reading this book reminds us why he will be so sorely missed." -Alexandra Korros, H-Judaic
"The wonderful sociocultural sensibility that this historian of Jewish high politics displayed in that book is on display in Crisis, Revolution, and Russian Jews as well." -Kenneth B. Moss, The Journal of Modern History
