Reviews

"Stunning." --Publishers Weekly "A well-researched study that neither allocates blame nor exonerates the participants in the peculiar institution, but puts to rest a pernicious anti-Semitic libel of recent coinage." --Kirkus Reviews "For anyone in search of ammunition to refute farfetched claims about Jewish culpability for the enslavement of Africans in America, this is the place to look." --Peter Kolchin, Los Angeles Times "Exhaustive... A scholarly, careful work." --The Washington Post Book World (front page)
