About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Shield by Various. (Translated by Avrahm Yarmolinsky.) Read in English by Mike Pelton; MaryAnn; Lucretia B.; Josh Kirsh; TriciaG; Natalya This is not merely a book about the Russian Jews. It is a marvellous revelation of the Russian soul. It shows not only that the overwhelming majority of the Russian intellectuals, including nearly all of her brilliant literary geniuses, are opposed to the persecution of the Jews or any other race, but that they have a capacity for sympathy and understanding of humanity unequalled in any other land. I do not know of any book where the genius and heart of Russia is better displayed. Not only her leading litterateurs but also her leading statesmen and economists are represented—and all of them speak as with a single voice. - Summary by William English Walling (Foreword of book)
