Did the Jews go like 'sheep to slaughter' during the Shoah? Not really. They walked to their deaths with great dignity, and thousands of Jews resisted in the camps, ghettos, forests, and allied armies. This is the untold story of that resistsance in the Soviet Union during WW II. Based on personal memoirs, officer accounts, and interviews, this 655-page book tells that story with over 100 photos and 12 maps. Porter himself is a survivor and his father was a partisan commander in Western Urkaine.

In the aftermath of 9/11, with its attendant rise in global anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, this classic book emerges, helping to explain the marginality of the Jewish people in a new and exciting way: that marginality need not be a negative attribute; that it can be "creative" and that it is through this "creative paranoia" that the Jews have not only survived throughout the centuries, but have imaginatively contributed to the culture and fabric of the societies in which they have dwelt.
