Reckless Rites: Purim and the Legacy of Jewish Violence - Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World
Elliott Horowitz
Historical accounts of Jewish violence - particularly against Christians - have long been explosive material. Some historians have distorted these records for anti-Semitic purposes. This book looks at both the history of Jewish violence since late antiquity and the ways in which generations of historians have grappled with that history.
