"Birbaum has drawn a sharp portrait that centres on Blum's Jewishness... It is indeed timely that the Yale Jewish Lives series should have commissioned this wonderful, readable book, with the impressive Arthur Goldhammer responsible, as with many other recent French histories, for a clear and fluent translation."--Julian Wright, TLS . , "Twenty years ago, Pierre Birnbaum wrote a brilliant Political History of State Jews in France , and now he has written a beautiful biography of the greatest of the state Jews. Lon Blum has never gotten the recognition he deserves as a French statesman, a socialist leader, and a proud Jew. That will change with this book."--Michael Walzer, author of The Paradox of Liberation: Secular Revolutions and Religious Counterrevolutions, "Twenty years ago, Pierre Birnbaum wrote a brilliant 'Political History of State Jews in France,' and now he has written a beautiful biography of the greatest of the state Jews.

Birnbaum's insightful account allows readers to consider the comparison between today's anti-Semitism and that of an earlier era and opens up new ways of thinking about the present."-- Foreign Affairs, "The most concise of the authoritative biographies...It also makes clearer than the others how fully Blum assumed his Jewish identity, though in a rationalist, universalist, and civic form that was essentially secular. Finally, Birnbaum's biography is the most personal so far."--Robert O. Paxton, New York Review of Books, "Brief, eloquent, and beautifully translated . . .

Synopsis
A new appreciation of the extraordinary life and legacy of Léon Blum, the first Jewish prime minister of France, From the prizewinning Jewish Lives series, a new appreciation of the extraordinary life and legacy of Léon Blum, the first Jewish prime minister of France "A valuable introduction and guide to one of the most important, if overlooked, figures in the history of modern France and, indeed, modern Europe."--James McAuley and Patrice Higonnet, New Republic Léon Blum (1872-1950), France's prime minister three times, socialist activist, and courageous opponent of the pro-Nazi Vichy regime, profoundly altered French society. It is Blum who is responsible for France's forty-hour week and its paid holidays, which were among the many reforms he championed as a deputy and as prime minister, while acting as a proudly visible Jew, a Zionist, and eventually a survivor of Buchenwald. This biography fully integrates Blum's Jewish commitments into the larger story of his life. Unlike previous biographies that downplay the significance of Blum's Jewish heritage on his progressive politics, Pierre Birnbaum's portrait depicts an extraordinary man whose political convictions were shaped and driven by his cultural background. The author powerfully demonstrates how Blum's Jewishness was central to his outlook and mission, from his earliest entry into the political arena in reaction to the Dreyfus Affair, and how it sustained and motivated him throughout the remainder of his life. Birnbaum's Léon Blum is a critical chapter in the larger history of Jews in France. About Jewish Lives: Jewish Lives is a prizewinning series of interpretative biography designed to explore the many facets of Jewish identity. Individual volumes illuminate the imprint of Jewish figures upon literature, religion, philosophy, politics, cultural and economic life, and the arts and sciences. Subjects are paired with authors to elicit lively, deeply informed books that explore the range and depth of the Jewish experience from antiquity to the present. In 2014, the Jewish Book Council named Jewish Lives the winner of its Jewish Book of the Year Award, the first series ever to receive this award.
