"An elegant and masterly survey. It is a measure of Mr. Lewis's
gift for synthesis that all the many findings of recent sholarship,
including his own in the Turkish archives, are made to fit into a
coherent and plausible pattern."
*New York Times Book Review*
"Lewis refuses . . . simplistic approaches and tries to explain the
complex and often contradictory history of Jewish-Muslim relations
over fourteen hundred years. He does this in prose that combines
eloquence, dispassion, and wit."---Norman A. Stillman, New York
