It follows him through the six major turning points of his brief life: his choice of Semitics as the focus of his scholarly study, his joining the newly reorganized Jewish Theological Seminary, and his triumphs and disappointments in the academic and public arenas. It attempts to unravel the mysteries surrounding his appointment during World War I to an abortive Red Cross Commission to Palestine, and the subsequent mission of mercy, which ended with his murder. Friedlaender was trained as a philologist, and taught Bible and Jewish history, but he achieved prominence as a transmitter of the thoughts of Ahad Ha'am and Dubnow to a new American audience. Almost alone among the European~trained academics of his generation, he also participated energetically in Jewish communal affairs in such diverse fields as Jewish education, Zionist politics, Conservative apologetics, and the Americanization of the new immigrants. It was this ardent devotion to his fellow Jews that led to his untimely death. N° de réf. du vendeur 6042103
