Lewis, the Cleveland E. Dodge Profes sor of Near Eastern Studies at Prince ton, is a noted historian of the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East. His erudi tion encompasses the many cultures, languages, and histories of the people in this vast region. Here, he looks at the three main kinds of hostility within the Arab world toward Jews and Israel: normal conflict between states, "nor mal prejudice," and the ascription of cosmic evil to the Jews (anti-Semitism). Examining the Islamic past and the present situation, Lewis argues that un til recently anti-Semitism was absent from the Islamic world. Lewis's analy sis is penetrating and sophisticated, well documented and written. Essential for both scholars and informed layper sons.
