I am fortunate to have stumbled upon this amazing book. It is replete with the selflessness and dedication of this great Jew. It demonstrates the Hand of God throughout history and the ridiculous lies and attacks hurled at the Jews time and time again. In addition it is a very interesting source of history (the information provided in the book was well researched by the author who himself was a historian) and full of adventure, plots, and twists. A great book for all!

Count of Coucy, the account of one of the Baalei Tosafos, Rabbi Samson of Coucy and his stand aganst treachery, piracy and slavery as well as his encounter with King Richard the Lion-hearted during the crusades. Portrait of Two Families is the story of a family caught up in the Reform movement whose path crosses with a family deeply rooted in Torah tradition, for a complex, fascinating plot of downfall and triumph.
