People are talking about The New Anti-Semitism'A passionate and beautifully written book by a card-carrying radical feminist who is also a religious Jew and a committed Zionist. She demonstrates, by equal portions of hot emotion and cool logic, that she is not the one guilty of inconsistency with her radical principles. It is the new 'politically correct' anti-Semites, including many feminists, who have some explaining to do. This book will make you weep. It will also make you angry and frightened.'-Alan Dershowitz, professor, Harvard Law School; author, The Case for Israel'Absolutely amazing, troubling, fierce. An indispensable guide to the apocalyptic sandstorms our world now faces. A new and virulent anti-Semitism, blessed by western intellectuals, is changing global assumptions about history and justice and threatening all hopes for peace on our troubled planet. I am stunned by the book; it's brilliant, and must be read and debated. Our lives may depend on it.'-Erica Jong, poet and novelist, Fear of Flying and Sappho's Leap'There is no trend more shocking or disturbing than the new rise of international anti-Semitism. Phyllis Chesler's book is a stirring call to action for a still slumbering world.'-Joseph Farah, founder, editor, and CEO, WorldNetDaily.com; columnist, the Jerusalem Post; and author, Taking Back America'Some books are highly readable, some are very important. This one is both. Chesler displays a clear analytic mind, the ability to steadily build a mountain of facts, a passionate Jewish heart, and the sensibilities of a just and ethical human being. Add to all that her wise and practical agenda, and you have a must-read book, one that can save progressives from hatred, right-wingers from extremism, and Jews from apathy.'-Blu Greenberg, author, How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household and On Women and Judaism: A View From Tradition'I expected eloquent indignation from Phyllis Chesler. What I did not anticipate was the depth of her study of contemporary anti-Semitism, the salient examples she found-a little anthology of dismay-and the fairness of her critique of friends and associates among American leftists, feminists, gay activists, and ideologues. This is an admirable and important book.'-Herbert Gold, author, Fathers, Best Nightmare on Earth, and Bohemia

According to Simon Wiesenthal, nearly half of the crimes associated with the Holocaust were committed by Austrians, who comprised just 8.5 percent of the population of Hitler's Greater German Reich. Bruce Pauley's book explains this phenomenon by providing a history of Austrian anti-Semitism and Jewish responses to it from the Middle Ages to the present, with a particular focus on the period from 1914 to 1938. In contrast to works that view anti-Semitism as an inherent national characteristic, his account identifies many sources and varieties of the anti-Semitic sentiment that pervaded Austrian society on the eve of the Holocaust.
