Amos Elon - Acclaimed historian and social critic, Amos Elon is the author of eight widely praised books on Germany, Jewish history, and the Middle East, including Founder: A Portrait of the First Rothschild and the New York Times bestseller Israelis: Founders and Sons. He has appeared repeatedly on the Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, 60 Minutes, and has been interviewed by Peter Jennings and Barbara Walters. A frequent contributor to The New York Times Magazine and The New York Review of Books, Amos Elon divides his time between Jerusalem and Tuscany .

Amos Elon's newest book, THE PITY OF IT ALL: A History of the Jews in Germany , 1743-1933 (Metropolitan Books) will be published in November 2002. Writing with a novelist's eye, Amos Elon takes us back to the beginning, showing how a persecuted clan of cattle dealers and wandering peddlers built themselves into a stunningly successfully community of writers, philosophers, scientists, tycoons, and activists. In literature alone German Jews accounted for such luminaries as Heine, Borne, Kafka, and Kraus; in the sciences, Ehrlich, Einstein, and Freud; in music, Mahler, and Mendelssohn. And in politics, they were the midwives or founders of most of Germany 's parties. Writing with a novelist's touch, Amos Elon peoples his account with dramatic figures such as Moses Mendelssohn, who entered Berlin in 1743 through the gate reserved for Jews and cattle and went on to become the great philosopher and religious reformed nicknamed both the "German Socrates" and the "Jewish Luther." THE PITY OF IT ALL traces how a minority--never more than nineteen percent of the population--transformed into the elite and came to be perceived as a deadly threat to national security. A collective biography, full of depth and compassion, Amos Elon's THE PITY OF IT ALL summons up a splendid world and a dream of integration and tolerance that, despite all, remains the essential ennobling project of modernity.
