Joseph Abboud
Law professor Geoffrey R. Stone examines the ways in which war has affected free speech throughout America’s history, from the Sedition Act of 1798 to the war on terrorism, in Perilous Times. Then, Joseph Abboud unveils the struggles and successes of his career in Threads: My Life Behind the Seams in the High-Stakes World of Fashion. And Amos Oz recounts the struggles of growing up in Jerusalem in the 1940s and 1950s in his memoir, A Tale of Love and Darkness. Finally, Robert Rifkind pays tribute to the 350th anniversary of Jewish communal life in America.
