During the presidential administration of Theodore Roosevelt, the American Jewish population nearly doubled, to almost two million. But long before he entered the White House, Roosevelt was familiar with Jewish issues. After all, Roosevelt began his meteoric political rise in New York, America’s most Jewish city. These combined experiences have led historian Andrew Porwancher to write American Maccabee: Theodore Roosevelt and the Jews, a useful book that explores how instrumental Jewish issues were throughout Roosevelt’s presidency.
