What is Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Zev : a novel about?

Follow the life of Brooklyn-born Zev Segal in the 1950s as he wrestles with the basic conflicts of man's inhumanity to man, why it occurs, and the legacy of the Holocaust. Laugh, cry, and grow angry as Zev struggles with conflict as he travels from the security and traditions of Orthodox Judaism to the gambling underworld, as the spirits of Jewish history haunt him. The Laughing Angels are demons that tempt Zev with sex, money and gambling. They torment him with visions of death marches, innocent beings screaming for their lives, and Nazi and Christian leaders marching hand-in-hand. The Righteous Ones, the suffering angels of the past try to save Zev from tragedy by begging him to remember the millions who died. Morton Teicher, Book Editor for The Jewish Floridian, compared Marcus to Chaim Potok, writing "Marcus caused us to care about the characters he created..."
