As the \ntextbook lesson in G-d's constant, though unobtrusive vigilance and protection \nof His people, the miracle of Purim is the Jew's wellspring of faith in times of \nexile and danger. Let us not forget that it was the first exile after more than \neight centuries in \u003ci\u003eEretz Yisrael\u003c\/i\u003e, and bewildered Jews wondered if Hashem \nhad cast them off for good! Then came the climax — the proof that miracles take \nplace beneath the surface and that the bonds connecting G-d and His people can \nnever be cut.\u003cbr\u003e\n    Megillas Esther tells only part of the story. The rest is in the Talmud, \nMidrash, and the classic commentators. If we could only pull all the disparate \nsources together into one flowing, coherent whole, we would have not only an \nabsorbing and inspiring lesson in faith, we would enter the spine-tingling world \nof Mordechai and Esther — the intrigues of the royal court, the Machiavellian \nswamp of Haman's conspiracy, the thousands of talents of silver tumbling from \nHaman's hands to purchase the rights to history's first genocide, the bravery of \nJewish children unafraid of death. We would exult with Mordechai on the royal \nsteed, led through the streets of Shushan by his arch-enemy. Our hearts would \npound as the uninvited Esther risks her life to plead with Ahasuerus — and \nsucceeds!\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cb\u003eYosef Deutsch\u003c\/b\u003e puts us on the scene. He has accomplished the very \nimpressive feat of canvassing all the sources and retelling the Purim story like \na spellbinding novel — except that every word is true! In his narrative, the \nevents come alive for us as never before. Every reader on every level will enjoy \nthis book as a fascinating story and as a great learning experience. For the \nscholar, the author provides copious sources. For the rest of us, he \ngives the story of the Megillah with a sweep and level of interest that we have \nnever experienced before.\u003cbr\u003e\n    Read this book. You'll enjoy. You'll learn.
