Abstract:
Jewish Partisans of the Soviet Union during World War II compiled by Jack Nusan Porter with the assistance of Yehuda Merin, is a classic compilation of original Russian and Jewish sources on the anti-Nazi resistance in Eastern Europe. After thirty years, Dr. Porter has compressed two volumes into one, added a new preface, an updated bibliography and filmography, over 100 new photos plus 12 new maps. This new volume is essential for scholars, teachers, and students of the Shoah, Russian history, and World War II
