Jihad and Jew-hatred

More about the book

German historian Matthias Küntzel’s Jihad and Jew-Hatred details how contemporary Islamist movements have been informed by the antisemitism of the Third Reich. Originally published in German as Djihad und Judenhass, this compelling historical account delves into the historical ties between Hitler's Germany and the growing Islamist movement in early twentieth-century Egypt. Küntzel makes the case that antisemitism plays a continuing, central role in modern-day Islamism, including the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. An important contribution to both the analysis of Islamism and studies of antisemitism.
