The Tragedy of a Generation is an exceptionally important book. Karlip marvelously and convincingly describes the crisis of a group of Eastern European Jewish intellectuals who could no longer embrace modernity nor return to faith.—Dan Diner, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Simon-Dubnow-Institute, Leipzig University

An outstanding work. Skillfully navigating between biography and wider historical analysis, Karlip’s book stands out for its texture, passion, and range. The Tragedy of a Generation will take its place as a masterpiece of Eastern European Jewish history.—David Myers, University of California, Los Angeles
