Author(s) W D Rubinstein AbstractBook Review: These two books form a useful parallel, illustrating a phase of twentieth-century Diaspora Jewish life once so significant, and now so difficult to understand, the attraction of so many second generation secularized Jews from 1917 until around 1950 to Soviet Communism. There can be little doubt that Jewish Communism - a peculiar and sui generis ideological stance, often more Jewish and humanistic than orthodoxly Communist - was a highly typical generational manifestation of those second generation immigrant Jews who also came of age during the interwar years, especially in the dark years of fascism and Depression.
