The History of Anti-Semitism, Volume 2

"""A scholarly but eminently readable tracing of the sources and recurring themes of anti-Semitism.""--Library Journal ""Poliakov has demonstrated brilliantly how widely and deeply versed he is in his subject.""--Economist ""Highly recommended without exception.""--Choice ""Leon Poliakov's work on antisemitism is of enormous importance. As a work of scholarship it is almost without peer. One could have imagined that Poliakov's study might have given a long overdue burial to the longest hatred. Sadly--tragically--it has taken on a new urgency in our time as the images and issues have been resurrected at the beginning of the twenty-first century.""--Michael Berenbaum, Director, Sigi Ziering Institute ""Poliakov has shown that anti-Semitism is no chance phenomenon but an emanation of European culture.""--Times Literary Supplement"
