PEPPER SILK & IVORY: THE BOOK
After decades of promising to put some of his great stories about Jews in China, Japan, India, Burma (now Myanmar) and Singapore on paper, he and his coauthor and fellow traveler Dr. Ellen Rodman have written Pepper, Silk & Ivory: Amazing Stories about Jews and the Far East. In this volume they tell the little known, captivating, colorful and compelling stories of Jews and Asians who improved the quality of life for each other.
From Two-Gun Cohen (a Jewish General in the Chinese Army) to the story behind Shell Oil; from the comedy of errors faced by the Jews of Kaifeng to the lucky Jews of Cochin; from Laura Margolis (champion of the Jewish refugees in Shanghai) to Emily Hahn (who introduced China to the West, all the while with her pet gibbon at her side) these amazing and unknown stories will open your eyes to the Far East, through Jewish eyes.
Jeffrey Lyons of The Lyons Den radio program said: "This is a fascinating, superbly researched book of footnote characters, incidents and events which deftly fills in wide gaps in history. Who knew?"
Whether you have taken one of the Pepper, Silk & Ivory tours or simply an intrepid armchair traveler, you will absolutely love this new book!
