' . . . a remarkably timely and useful account of the history of antisemitism. . . In spite of the thousands of books. . . on anti-semitism, it is often difficult to find a book suitable for students that describes lucidly and competently anti-semitic delusions and myths as both a logical absurdity and also a force that has shaped much of the history of the last two thousand years. This book qualifies in these respects unlike any book I have ever seen. I am confident that others will find it similarly useful. ' - Derek H. Davis, Journal of Church and State
