Peter M. Wolf is an award-winning author. His memoir, My New Orleans Gone Away, attracted feature reviews in The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post before it reached the New York Times E-Book Best Seller list. His recent biography, The Sugar King: Leon Godchaux, A New Orleans Legend, His Creole Slave, and His Jewish Roots attracted praises from The Times-Picayune and distinguished historians such as Walter Isaacson, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Nicholas B. Lemann.
His new book is The Etruscans and the Jews.
The Etruscans and The Jews is a powerful book that proposes never before recognized links between the culturally vibrant Etruscan people and long forgotten Jewish communities. This groundbreaking work of discovery, reconsidered history and personal narrative expands our understanding of both the lost Etruscan civilization and the present day Jewish diaspora. A speculative strain ties these ancient connections to America, eventually to New Orleans. This inciteful work wraps up over ten years of research and writing to complete ‘The New Orleans Trilogy.’
