`Julius's book is... the gold standard work on the subject of
English antisemitism.
'
David Aaronovitch , The Jewish Chronicle
`Anthony Julius has produced a brilliant and readable account of a
shameful stain on the national reputation. The best dissection I've
seen of Britain's oldest and least acknowledged racial
prejudice.
'
Nick Cohen
`a meticulous survey of an aspect of English life that can scarcely
fail to discomfit modern readers.'
Max Hastings, Sunday Times
`Writing against a backdrop of rising violence and abuse directed
at English Jews and the State of Israel, Anthony Julius
insightfully and passionately traces antisemitism's abject history
in England from the medieval period until today. This eminently
readable book is thoroughly researched and nuanced, and its take on
contemporary antisemitism is a true tour de force.
'
Jehuda Reinharz, Richard Koret Professor of Modern Jewish History
and President, Brandeis University
`This is a very important book.
'
Rick Richman, Commentary
