New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2015. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. xv, [1]. 618, [6] pages. Endpaper maps, illustrations, appendix, notes, bibliography, index. Chapters 1 through 6 cover the period of time from Britain's conquest of Palestine in 1917, toward the end of World War I, to the early years of World War II, depicting the reasons behind the emergence of a Jewish underground in response to Arab violence and terrorism, and traces its evolution into a counterterrorism strike force that eventually turned its weapons on Britain as well. Chapters 7 through 10 focus on wartime Palestine. The split that produced rival Jewish Terrorist factions, the official Zionist movement, and the growing polarization of the Jewish community from the British government led to the escalation of Jewish terrorism, now directed solely against the British government. The final part, chapters 11 through 19, chronicles the war that Britain fought in Palestine following World War II. More

Anthony Robert Julius (born 16 July 1956) is a British solicitor advocate known for being Diana, Princess of Wales' divorce lawyer[1] and for representing Deborah Lipstadt. Trials of the Diaspora is a ground-breaking book that reveals the full history of anti-Semitism in England. Anthony Julius focuses on four distinct versions of English anti-Semitism. He begins with the medieval persecution of Jews, which included defamation, expropriation, and murder, and which culminated in 1290 when King Edward I expelled all the Jews from England. Turning to literary anti-Semitism, Julius shows that negative portrayals of Jews have been continuously present in English literature from the anonymous medieval ballad "Sir Hugh, or the Jew's Daughter," through Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, to T. S. Eliot and beyond. The book then moves to a depiction of modern anti-Semitism--a pervasive but contained prejudice of insult and exclusion that was experienced by Jews during their "readmission" to England in the mid-17th century through the late 20th century. The final chapters detail the contemporary anti-Semitism that emerged in the late 1960s and the 1970s and continues to be present today. It treats Zionism and the State of Israel as illegitimate Jewish enterprises, and, in Julius's opinion, now constitutes the greatest threat to Anglo-Jewish security and morale. A penetrating and original work, Trials of the Diaspora is sure to provoke much comment and debate. More
London: Vallentine Mitchell, 1998. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xi, [1], 275, [1] pages. Illustrations. Appendix A: The History of the Exodus. Appendix B: The History of the Ordzhonikidze Detachment, Kirov Brigade. Index. Foreword by Sir Martin Gilbert. Sticker residue on DJ flap. Two cousins relate their experiences with Bielski s partisan brigade in war-torn Russia during the Second World War. Natives of Novogrodek, part of present-day Belarus, they describe Jewish life before the Holocaust and furnish a most moving account of how a thriving and prosperous Jewish center was decimated by the Nazis and local collaborators. Initial joy when their hometown was taken over by the Soviet Union disappeared when the Germans ran the Russians out of town and started implementing policies to eradicate all Jews and anything Jewish. Dov (Berl), the elder of the cousins, whose account comprises the first section of the book, lost his immediate family in the early days of German occupation and escaped from ghetto life in November 1942.

New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1981. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [6], 282 pages. Index. DJ has wear, tears, soiling and chips. “Every day,” writes Rabbi Meir Kahane, “the Arabs of Israel move closer to becoming a majority. Are we [Israel] committed to national suicide? Should we allow demography, geography, and democracy to push Israel closer to the abyss? According to Rabbi Kahane, Israel can only be sustained by a permanent Jewish majority and a small, insignificant, and placid Arab minority. But the Arab population continues to grown quantitatively and qualitatively. They openly vow to destroy the Jewish state – with the democratic vote. In this explosive manifesto Rabbi Kahane sets forth the only plan to save Israel. Israeli Arabs would be given the options of accepting noncitizenship, leaving willingly with compensation, or being forcibly expelled without compensation. Controversial? Yes. “For Jews and Arabs in Israel there is only one answer – separation. Jews in their land, Arabs in theirs. Separation. Only separation.” They Must Go was written in 1980 while Rabbi Meir Kahane was jailed in Ramle Prison by the Israeli government under an unprecedented administrative detention order that imprisoned him without a trial, without his being informed of any specific charge, and without opportunity to know or to question any alleged evidence or witness. Rabbi Kahane’s ideas were suppressed, defamed, and subjected to hysterical diatribes by people who were too frightened to consider them intelligently or to debate them intellectually. Is there a time bomb ticking away relentlessly in the Holy Land? Can Arabs and Jews ultimately coexist in a Jewish-Zionist state? More
