Excerpt from Forward From BabylonA fear and a helpless rage seized the faces there, always only half seen in the gloom Of the kitchen. By day, beyond the bars which uselessly scowled against the small glass panes, the drab walls Of the house next door kept away everything but a dirty and dubious light. By night, the flare of the coal-gas jet distorted his father, Reb Monash, and his own feet on the fender, and the sofa into things of blurred, awkward lines.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book Military history texts discuss the historical record of armed conflict in the history of humanity, its impact on people, societies, and their cultures. Some fundamental subjects of military history study are the causes of war, its social and cultural foundations, military doctrines, logistics, leadership, technology, strategy, and tactics used, and how these have developed over time. Thematic divisions of military history may include: Ancient warfare, Medieval warfare, Gunpowder warfare, Industrial warfare, and Modern warfare. Also in this Book Military strategy texts present ideas for military organizations to achieve their desired strategic goals. Military strategy discusses the planning and conduct of campaigns, the movement and disposition of forces, and how to deceive the enemy. Carl von Clausewitz (1780–1831), defined military strategy as "the employment of battles to gain the end of war." B. H. Liddell Hart defined strategy as "the art of distributing and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy", which places more emphasis on political aims relative to military goals. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) is the father of Eastern military strategy and greatly influenced Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese war tactics. His book The Art of War has been very popular and has seen practical implementation in Western societies.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

"One of the perennially-recurring domestic tragedies born on the disharmony between the old tradition-worshiping generation and budding youth that follows the bright rainbow of the future, between the cut-and-dried, fatalistic submission to what is established and the hankering for what is new, alive and pleasant now, is here painted. This struggle, as far as appertains to Jewish life, dates back to the days of Moses Mendelssohn and his gospel of Enlightenment, and was the cause of so many pangs and heartburns, so many domestic tragedies and communal struggles....In America and England there is the added difficulty of an adjustment to the industrial standard, the system of forced labor, as it were, exacting duties and suppression of self that is implied in it. And this is what the author of 'Forward From Babylon' has been trying to picture for us in his book. 'Reb' Monash and Philip, father and son, the Patriarchal, tradition-rooted, rock-ribbed father and the rebellious, idealistic and aspiring son, the one looking to the past, the other with his rapt gaze turned toward the future, unquestioned obedience and storm-tossed doubt - all this interwoven with the fabric of the industrial strife going on all about the both of them. What greater material for an epic is needed by any man?" -The Advocate, America's Jewish Journal "A book of serious merit." -The Nation "The writing has beauty; it has at times a sonorous and stately splendor. Mr. Golding goes to work wrapped in a warm emotion. The emotion is evident in his prose, which is often deeply moving." -Literary Review "Establishes Mr. Golding as one of the significant figures among the younger English novelists." -The Freeman "Sympathetic picture of home life in an Orthodox Jewish family transplanted from Russia to the London ghetto, and a subtle portrayal of complex modern youth in rebellion against the simple, stern ideals of Judaism....One of the six entries for the French prize award for the best English novel of the past year." -Open Shelf "Reveals the author, Louis Golding, to have uncoverec a rather rich vein....There are Babylons and Babylons - Russia, the London ghetto, Phylacteries, Calf-love. Philip Massel goes from them all. 'Forward From Babylon' is largely adventures in education, and there is nothing that can be more stimulating if the adventurer is a young, self -emancipating Jew, running from the embrace of one new mistress of life to another." -The Menorah Journal "We do not assume that this story of Philip Massel, son of a Russian Jew exiled to a smoky northern town in England, is directly autobiographical; but the element of individual experience in it is obviously very strong....Phillip Massel's father, Red Monash, is the incarnation of Jewish tradition; a man deeply versed in Hebraic law, an orator, a teacher. His ambition is for Philip to follow in his footsteps, to be above all a good Jew; and the very passion of this ideal gives poetry to his harsh and narrow nature. But Philip is not made for these bonds, and even in early youth he revolts in spirit against the Hebrew school, in which his father gloomily presides. The struggle is a bitter one, with cruelties on both sides, and Philip wins. With a final act of revolt he leaves his father's house forever." -The Times of London "Of all novels of youth that have come under our notice, 'Forward From Babylon' we think, gets closest to reality. Those curious, indeterminate years between childhood and adolescence are evoked for us with a genuine subtlety." -The Athenaeum
