The Ashkenazi Revolution

3As for transliterations, my main concern was that readers recognize as manynames as possible. I made no effort at consistency; if I felt that a certainspelling would be more recognizable to readers than another, then that wasthe one I used. In general, I used the spellings found in Wikipedia. As forthe glossary at the end, unless otherwise noted (as links at the end inparenthesis), they are mostly taken from Wikipedia – and edited. I did leavethe Wikipedia links intact so that readers can use them for further study.There are a handful of personalities that are not found in the glossary; this iseither because I considered them so well known that it was not necessary, orbecause I was not able to identify the individual. Please feel free to emailme with missing information if you have it.While it is a great honor to bring The Ashkenazi Revolution to Englishspeakers, I also wanted to point out that it was no small expense for me tocomplete this task. Furthermore, it took a tremendous amount of work, andcountless hours, to reach this goal. I did not have a team of experts toconsult, nor were there any professors at my disposal.
