Trade Review'Jewish People, Yiddish is an especially important reminder of just how much "Russian Jewish" history cannot be told without sustained attention to the large Jewish population that lived in Russian Poland, one of the empire's least digestible and most important regions, and to the numerous other Russian Jews outside Congress Poland.' -- Kenneth B. Moss The Journal of Modern History, Vol. 84:2:2012 'This important and impressively researched political biography, contributes greatly to our understanding of the lives of east European nationalist leaders and the issues they championed.' -- Sean Martin H-Poland, January 2015 'Weiser's book is to be commended for its meticulous historical research.' -- Gali Drucker Bar-Am Jews and Their Foodways: Studies in Contemporary Jewry, an annual vol 28: 2015
