Insightful, and providing a nice, broad overview of Jewish history while not being too taxing on the reader. Good stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Jewish-Literacy-Important-Religion-History/dp/0688085067/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200668107&sr=8-1 You can also find some good history books here: http://www.artscroll.com/Categories/his.html In particular, I recommend the ones written by Rabbi Berel Wein, which I think includes the first five on that page. I hope this helps you get started, and that you enjoy your studies. Jewish history is a fascinating subject, and has drawn the interest of many scholars, a large percentage of whom aren't even Jewish themselves. I think you'll find the articles and books I've linked to above both informative and entertaining. We're good at that.
