Content:
For thirty years the director of leading institute for the study of anti-Semitism, Walter Laqueur here offers both a comprehensive history of anti-Semitism as well as an illuminating look at the newest wave of this phenomenon. Laqueur begins with an invaluable historical account, tracing the evolution from a predominantly religious anti-Semitism --stretching back to the middle ages--to a racial anti-Semitism that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author then brilliantly analyzes the newest species of anti-Semitism, explaining its origins and rationale, how it manifests itself, and in what ways and why it is different from anti-Semitism in past ages.
