By the 1920's, Jews were-by all economic, political, and cultural measures of the day-making it in America. Yet many deliberately identified with groups that remained marginalized. National Jewish Book Award winner Michael Alexander tells the stories of Al Jolson, Felix Frankfurter, and Arnold Rothstein in a fascinating attempt to explore this paradox in American Jewry. All three men became heroes to the American Jewish community for their association with events that galvanized the country and defined the Jazz Age.
