Synopsis

A groundbreaking -- and terrifying -- examination of the widespread resurgence of antisemitism in the 21st century, by the prize-winning and #1 internationally bestselling author of Hitler's Willing Executioners.

Antisemitism never went away, but since the turn of the century it has multiplied beyond what anyone would have predicted. It is openly spread by intellectuals, politicians and religious leaders in Europe, Asia, the Arab world, America and Africa and supported by hundreds of millions more. Indeed, today antisemitism is stronger than any time since the Holocaust.

In The Devil that Never Dies, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen reveals the unprecedented, global form of this age-old hatred; its strategic use by states; its powerful appeal to individuals and groups; and how technology has fueled the flames that had been smoldering prior to the millennium.

A remarkable work of intellectual brilliance, moral stature, and urgent alarm, The Devil that Never Dies is destined to be one of the most provocative and talked-about books of the year.

A devastating indictment of the oldest, most widespread, and most protean prejudice in history, and still terrifying despite its flaws.

Goodreads review by Deborah on December 19, 2014

Although I agree with many of Daniel Goldhagen's points, I found this book disappointing. I had read his earlier work "Hitler's Willing Executioner's", which I found to be a very good non-fiction book (although it received some legitimate criticism), which made me want to read this one. The first hal......more

Goodreads review by Beth on October 20, 2014

This was a horrifying book. I give it four stars because I think the author would have benefited from some slash and burn editing - this could be far more concise than it was. However, having said that, Goldhagen's information is solid and the book is very worthwhile reading. I was particularly help......more
