Milwaukee was home to the Great Circus Parade for almost 30 years. Beginning in 1963 and continuing until 1972; the parade became an annual tradition; except in 1967 when the event was cancelled because of civil unrest. Revived on a smaller scale in 1980; the parade traveled between Baraboo and Chicago until it returned to Milwaukee in 1985. Each year; it grew in size and scope; gaining national prominence. The old-fashioned circus parade became an event of mammoth proportions; requiring an army of volunteers working behind the scenes.

I must commend Bryan of a great accomplishment. traveling around the world to tell the Jewish story is no easy feat and to do so in a way that gives people a good understanding of Jews such that Jews feel is fair is even tougher. This is a great looking book. well design. with good photography and easy to follow writing. He centers on the "unknown" or the "unusual" Jew so you should already know a bit about Judaism before picking up this book. however it is a great addition to your Judaica library and will fill you in on the little known Jewish life around the world in a way that is interesting and entertaining.
