Melzer (Jewish history, Tel Aviv U.) recounts how Polish Jews waged a political battle against economic persecution, hostile administrative practices, discriminatory legislation, and violent riots as antisemitism solidified. He attributes their failure to the lack of charismatic leadership and an organizational framework based on common Jewish destiny and mutual identification. Translated and updated from Ma'avak medini be-malkadet published by Tel Aviv University in 1982. Distributed in the US by Wayne State University Press.
