I identified with the people in the book. My dad was in the Air Corp and this is the first book I have read that addresses religion of the soldiers.

The author captures the full flavor of antsemitism in the Armed Forces during the war and for the Jews who served during the war years is especially meaningful. These men readily identify with the subtle and not so subtle communication of discrimination and the consequence of institutionalized antisemitism.

Deborah Dash Moore's GI Jews is a moving book which provides insight into the Jewish American experience in World War II. Following the tales of more than fifteen Jewish GIs from before the United States' involvement in World War II through their return home, Moore paints a picture of what it was like to be a Jewish American and a Jewish American soldier in World War II.
