Vanquished Nation, Broken Spirit: The Virtues of the Heart in Formative Judaism
Jacob Neusner
From the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD to the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the Jews were a conquered nation. Neusner's book explores the attitudes to dignity and nobility in Jewish canonical writings and asks how these virtues relate to the politics of the Jews as a vanquished people.
