Dr. Adam Mendelsohn, professor of history at the University of Cape Town and the director of the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies, joins me to discuss his latest book: Jewish Soldiers in the Civil War: The Union Army

What a fascinating conversation indeed! We talk about the Jewish experience in the military and also about Jews in the United States during the mid-19th century more broadly.
