Trade Review
"Poliakov has demonstrated brilliantly how widely and deeply versed he is in his subject." * Economist *
"Highly recommended without exception." * Choice *
"Poliakov has shown that anti-Semitism is no chance phenomenon but an emanation of European culture." * Times Literary Supplement *
"Léon 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 *
