Title: Jews Fight Too, a mid-20th century youth book
Review: I read this book, from my Hebrew school's library, in the early 1960s. Written for teens, as I recall, it details achievements of Jews, as fighters. I particularly remember stories of Jewish American soldiers. It's been a long time, but I remember enjoying the writing.Since the book was written shortly after World War II and the Israeli War for Independence, the concept of Jewish fighters was still novel. I believe that the writer intended it as an antidote, to the idea that all Jews were helpless victims.In the 50+ years, since the book was written, Israeli fighting prowess has been proven, over and over. However, these older stories are still interesting.
