A Personal Portrait of the Man Within the Giant
Book is written by Louis Pollack
Foreword by Rabbi Berel Wein

The life of Rambam is one of color, danger, adventure and immense scholarship and influence. Perhaps no other one figure in Jewish history since post-biblical times has so dominated and influenced the Jewish thought process and halachic value system as Moses Maimonides has. But what about his own personal life? This wonderful book by Louis Pollack portrays for the reader the actual life of this great man. We learn of his disappointments and triumphs, his family and friends. The great rabbinic scholar, doctor, philosopher and communal leader comes alive for us in the pages of this book. Reading this work will link the reader eternally to the great eagle of Jewish history, Moses Maimonides. From Moses till Moses there arose none like Moses.
