 The Press Complaints Commission rejected these complaints, saying that it was clear to readers that the content was written from Alderman's own perspective and whether or not the article was offensive requires subjective judgement.Of Alderman's dozen or so books, the best-known is "Modern British Jewry" (second edition, 1998, OUP).He has also written for the "New Dictionary of National Biography", with special responsibility for post-1800 Jewish entries, and for "The Guardian" and "The Jewish Chronicle".
