Rabbi David Miller's The Secret of the Jew was written and privately published in 1930 by Rabbi David Miller. The book is primarily about taharat hamishpacha. But it also contains an extensive discussion of the halachic underpinnings of Mikveh and, more significantly, how to build one. Rabbi Miller had an engineering background and believed that there was no halachic barrier to using city water to build a small mikveh in one's own home. His book contains detailed plans for doing just that.Not surprisingly, Rabbi Miller's point of view was not well-received in some Orthodox communities. His ideas did garner some support, however, from Rav Nissen Telushkin, author of Taharas Mayim and an important authority on mikveh. It has been reported that Telushkin "believed Rabbi Miller's thesis was unfairly scorned and that he, Rav Telushkin, believed that use of mikveh would have been far more widely observed in this country had the rabbonim not been so quick to condemn Rabbi Miller. In fact Rav Telushkin has a rather lengthy treatment in his Sefer of the New York City water system, and makes mention of Rabbi Miller's ideas as having more than a little validity, and refers to Rabbi Miller as a great person (Gavra Rabba) who dedicated his life to strengthening the observance of taharat hamishpacha in this country."

Inscribed by the author on the fep. Nathan Miller was the author of more than a dozen books of U.S. history and biography. Mr. Miller centered his historical writing on his two major enthusiasms, the U.S. Navy and the Roosevelt family. "FDR: An Intimate History" (1983) and "Theodore Roosevelt: A Life" (1992) were critically praised. His most durable historical work was "The U.S. Navy: A History" (1977) was published as a textbook by the Naval Institute. Mr. Miller received his master's degrees in history from the University of Maryland before becoming a reporter for the Baltimore Sun. He spent more than 15 years as a journalist. Then he become an investigator and speechwriter for Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) on the permanent subcommittee on investigations and later the Senate Appropriations Committee. Derived from a Kirkus review: Appropriately big and vigorous life of the 26th President. Despite his modern-day reputation as an imperialist and worse, Roosevelt emerges from Miller's pages as a tremendously energetic reformer and moral beacon on the issues of his age. He took on corrupt politicians and bureaucrats throughout his career, and he instituted federal regulation of food and drug purity and of big business. Miller details the Roosevelt myth--TR's willful growth from puny scion to Rough Rider to ``big stick'' President--and finds it to be largely accurate. Roosevelt's career rose meteorically from his election to the New York State Senate, and by age 24 he was the most famous politician in the state. Yet his personal life was marred by tragedy. Miller masters not only Roosevelt but fascinating ancillary facts as well--e.g., how TR's secretary of state, John Hay, while a young reporter, traced the origin of the Great Chicago Fire to Mrs. O'Leary's infamous cow. A sympathetic, detailed, tremendously readable account of the eventful life of our most energetic, irrepressible President., William Morrow and Company, Inc, 1992, 2.75<
