In his new book, Professor Porwancher, uncovers the surprising relationship between Theodore Roosevelt and the Jewish community. He traces Roosevelt’s deep connection with the Jewish people at every step of his dazzling ascent. However, it also reveals a man of contradictions whose checkered approach to Jewish issues was no less conflicted than the nation he led. Drawing on fresh research from his newest book, Porwancher explores the complicated relationship between the leader of a youthful nation and the people of an ancient faith.
