About the Author

This is Norman H. Finkelstein's eleventh nonfiction book for young readers. "Like all parents," Finkelstein says, "I enjoyed telling my children how much better life was when I was their age. The idea for The Way Things Never Were emerged when they began challenging my heroic tales of walking fifteen miles to school in waist-deep snow."

Finkelstein is a school librarian for the Brookline, Massachusetts, public school system and a part-time instructor at Hebrew College. Among his titles are Remember Not to Forget: A Memory of the Holocaust; Theodor Herzl: Architect of a Nation; The Emperor General: A Biography of Douglas MacArthur; Sounds in the Air: The Golden Age of Radio; Thirteen Days/Ninety Miles: The Cuban Missile Crisis; With Heroic Truth: The Life of Edward R. Murrow; Heeding the Call: Jewish Voices in America's Civil Rights Struggle; and Friends Indeed: The Special Relationship Between Israel and the United States. Norman Finkelstein lives in Framingham, Massachusetts.
