Story Behind The Book

I had always known that my great-great uncle was secretary to Rasputin, but when I finally read his memoirs, I learned that Rasputin was not a demon but a humanitarian who was persecuted for his liberal and egalitarian beliefs, especially his support of equal rights for the oppressed Jews. With several years of further research, I was able to substantiate this assertion, leading to the publication of this book.

<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">&quot;Almost every day, I am privileged to hear from authors who call my attention to their newly-published books.  But none of them claimed my attention quite as forcefully as Delin Colón, author of <i>Rasputin and the Jews: A Reversal of History</i>.</span><span style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">&quot; --- JewishJournal.com - Jonathan Kirsch</span></p> <p><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> </font><br style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">&quot;Colón has put forth the notion that Rasputin's advocacy on behalf of the country's Jews contributed to his demise.</span><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">&quot;</span><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> --The Jewish Literary Review - Steve Pollak</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;">&quot;Mrs. Colón's dissertation is a brief but well-written exposition on a historical figure who was both maligned and misunderstood when it comes to written Jewish and Russian history.&quot; -- New York Journal of Books --Charles Weinblatt, reviewer and author of &quot;Jacob's Courage&quot;.</span></p> <p><br style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><span style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Delin Colón &quot;bashes the popular notion of the infamous Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin as an influential anti-Semitic, power-hungry conniver in the final years of the Russian Romanov dynasty.&quot; </span><span style="font-size:small;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> --The Baltimore Jewish Times - Neil Rubin</span><br /><br style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">&quot;This book becomes a short course on revolutionary Russian history and gets gold stars as an example of a well-produced self-published book.&quot;  -- Diana Brement, JTNews columnist</span></p> <p>&quot;<span style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">It is tragic that a person should be vilified because he sought to aid people, and it is even more heartrending that all too many people accepted these lies as true.

Ms. Colon has assembled a weighty bibliography, including the writings of those who knew him personally, both sympathizers and enemies, and extracts from them a fascinating picture of this holy man.&quot; - - Clark Zlotchew, author</span></p> <p>&quot;<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Rasputin &amp; the Jews: A Reversal of History is a vindication of Rasputin's good deeds by a writer who has nothing to gain by correcting the historical record, other than sharing the true story of a man whose reputation has been maligned because he dared oppose the people who had the most to lose by permitting some semblance of human rights to Jews and other peasants: The nobility.&quot; - - Bryna Kranzler, author</span></p> <p>&quot;<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">History tells us that, once a myth is planted in the archives of recollection, it is difficult to root out. As a corollary, it's rare to find scholarship that reverses popular, dominant perceptions of people, settings, and events. In her compelling monograph, Rasputin and the Jews, scholar and author Delin Colon does just that.&quot; - - Charles Degelman, author</span></p>
