Description and Table of Contents

Description

In this groundbreaking volume of essays, contributors assess some of the most famous travelers, writers, and scholars. The wide-ranging introduction by Martin Kramer sets them in a still broader context, tracing the Jewish fascination with Islam in all its varieties -- romantic, assimilationist, liberal, Zionist, and Marxist.
