Far from being a fringe phenomenon, antisemitism is today an increasingly troubling presence in mainstream British society, especially in its often stri- dent anti-Zionist manifestations. In this timely and insightful book, David Hirsch and his colleagues address the pertinent issues head-on and offer valuable explanations for the nature of this hostility and the threats it poses. The latter are serious and warrant the detailed scrutiny readers will find in this clarifying volume.

Tracking Jew-hatred through its labyrinths of lies is not thought to make easy reading, but this unmasking of anti-Zionisms falsity and dishonour is so exhilaratingly assured and eagle-eyed you cannot put it down. An indispensable work.
