Reviews

Praise for Blood and Faith:
"A splendid work of synthesis."
—The New York Times Book Review

"A fascinating account of perhaps the first major episode of European ethnic cleansing and, just as importantly, the story of the beginning of the conviction that 'blood' matters more than belief; a conviction that led, in the end, to modern racism."
—Kwame Anthony Appiah

"Balanced and thoroughly researched history."
—Literary Review
