Reviews

"Learned and disquieting. . . . Anti-Judaism identifies a persistent and pervasive thread in the fabric of Western thought that no future commentary . . . will be entitled to ignore."
*R. I. Moore - Nation*

"Chilling. . . . Nirenberg offers his painful and important history so that we might recognize these patterns [of intolerance and violence] in hopes of not falling into them yet again."
*Michael S. Roth - Washington Post*

"Brilliant, fascinating."
*Michael Walzer - New York Review of Books*

"[A] magisterial work of intellectual history."
*Publishers Weekly*
