Born in Warsaw, raised in a Hasidic community, and reaching maturity in secular Jewish Vilna and cosmopolitan Berlin, Abraham Joshua Heschel escaped Nazism and emigrated to the United States in 1940. This book tells the story of his life and work in America, his politics and personality, and how he came to influence not only Jewish debate but also wider religious and cultural debates in the post-war decades. A sequel to his biography of Heschel's early years, this book draws on previously unseen archives, FBI files, interviews with people who knew Heschel, and analyses of his extensive writings.
