520 |a This is a fascinating book. It is the result of many years of thorough, wonderfully rich and innovative investigation into a very complex subject.

520 |a The book addresses key episodes taken from the full history of Jewhatred. It focuses chiefly on the pre-modem period, but pursues its themes as far as Hitler's rise to power. The author's ultimate objective is to contribute to the prevention of future outbursts by enhancing our understanding of the societal and ideological circumstances that appear to be their precondition
