""A groundbreaking - and terrifying - examination of the widespread resurgence of antisemitism in the twenty-first century, by the prize-winning author of the #1 international bestseller 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 and tacitly 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 more threatening than at any time since the Holocaust. How could this be? In The Devil That Never Dies, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen reveals the unprecedented global form of this age-old hatred, its strategic use by states, and its powerful appeal to individuals and groups. Provocatively examining precisely what twenty-first-century antisemitism is, Goldhagen establishes a disquieting new paradigm for understanding it. Further exploring the dimensions of its threat, he explains how technology has fueled the flames that had been smoldering prior to the millennium - with devastating results. In dissecting how antisemitism has thrived internationally in an age of instutituons like the UN, leading NGOs, and a broad coalition of hostile states, while being abetted by thinly veiled or brazen anti-Jewish sentiments found around the world in the media and academia, Goldhagen offers those who care about justice and morality a road map to this most vexing of prejudices. 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."" - from the inner front jacket flap.
