| Publisher Description: An account of the achievements of Sir Sidney Hamburger in the Jewish community of Manchester, the City of Salford, and the North-West region. Williams, Honorary President and Historical Advisor of the Manchester Jewish Museum, and a teaching fellow at the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester, covers Hamburger's role as mayor and city council member during the 1960s, and as chairman of the regional Health Authority during the 1970s-80s. He argues that civic eminence was the essential ingredient ora communal leadership through which the Anglo-Jewish community managed its power relations with the gentile city. |
