Purchase options and add-ons

The Nazis needed oil. The Arabs wanted the Jews and British out of Iraq. The Mufti of Jerusalem forged a far-ranging alliance with Hitler resulting in the June 1941 Farhud, a Nazi-style pogrom in Baghdad that set the stage for the devastation and expulsion of the Iraqi Jews and ultimately almost a million Jews across the Arab world. The Farhud was the beginning of what became a broad Nazi-Arab alliance in the Holocaust.

MONUMENTAL AND EXHAUSTIVELY DOCUMENTED. Monumental in scope, Edwin Black s new book The Farhud sheds light on the under-researched, 14-century-long confrontation between the Caliphate and the Jewish communities, and offers new exhaustively documented details of exactly how the Pan-Arabist and Jihadist movement of the Levant, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, al-Husseini, partnered with the Nazis during the darkest days of the Holocaust. --Walid Phares, author of Future Jihad and Fox TV Terrorism Analyst

SUPERB ANALYSIS. Edwin Black's latest book, The Farhud, provides a superb analysis of the origins of Islamic-Fascism and is a must read for those seeking to understand the nature of Israel s current confrontation with Muslim extremism." --Isi Leibler, columnist Jerusalem Post

MASSIVE. AN IMPORTANT STORY. Black moves massive mounds of material ... to tell his important story ... you ll be amply rewarded ... a worthy addition to the historiography of the modern Middle East. --Sheldon Kirshner, Canadian Jewish News

Prior to this book, I was unaware of Mr Black's writing until I saw his presentation on C-Span a couple of weeks ago. My knowledge of Islam has been aquired through the broad spectrum of Prof Bernard Lewis of Princeton U. A broad enough view I thought to give me some insight into the depredations that Islam has wrought upon civilization from it's early and brutal conquests throughout Mesopotamia. Mr Brown's description of the merging of this bizzar religious cult and the Nazi doctrine of racial purity are a clear reminder of the danger of Islam and it's adherents to civil society. Mr Black admonishes us, at the beginning of his book, not to stop reading his chronicle of the mind numbing brutality that Islam has forced onto millions of people throughout the known world at that period of our common history.
Still, the reader plods on to one atrocity after another, culminating in the modern period where the "practitioners of the religion of peace and love" merge on their Genocidal path to the attempt to destroy all and every Jew that ever lived.
That we as a society, tolerate and speak with the likes of the Iranians, Syrians, Hiz'b'allah, Hamas, is an illustration of how far down the slippery slope we are. The resurgence of anti Semitism in Europe and here in America at some of our major Universities should be warning enough. The Qur'an is clearly and unequivicably the Muslim version of Mein Kampf.
A must, and very difficult read for any person seriously concerned about this very dangerous Cult that is ISLAM

This book is far too dense to be easily summarized. The history of the development of the current clash of civilizations can hardly be underestimated in its importance. As a student of history myself, I preordered this book and was not disappointed. I could not put it down. In the Preface, Mr. Black makes a contract with the reader--not to read here and there, but from beginning to end. There is a good reason for this. I'm shocked that by March 2011 there are only 6 reviews of this stunningly researched and executed book. But perhaps I should not be. This is a reflection of the cloud over liberty and free speech that currently hovers over the literate in our civil society. I have known of the alliance of the Grand Mufti and Herr Hitler for a long time, what its roots were, and where it led. And today, the then little-known Muslim Brotherhood is seeking hegemony over the Middle East again. This is a must read for anyone who truly wants to know the roots of the current political economy--for to know the roots of the tree, is to know how it will grow, and where the fruit will fall. This is a masterful book.

Traces the actions of the Empires in the area, and details the brutal treatment of regular people being crushed. So disturbing, but so worth the read.

Edwin Black's "The Farhud" is a great read, rich in history and written with a sense of drama worthy of a good novel. What I find so engrossing about this book is the way the author weaves together various threads of history--going back to the beginnings of civilization itself!--into a tapestry that contextualizes the Arab assault on Baghdad Jews in 1941. When he tells us in his subtitle that he is investigating "roots" of the Arab-Nazi alliance he is perhaps understating his achievement. Not only the roots are revealed, but the various streams of "nourishment" as well.

Some of these roots and their nourishing streams touch upon geology, cultural traditions, ideology, government, and modern corporate practices. Black does not paint a glowing picture of Arab culture, but neither is he about to salute the virtues of the western powers. The fact is (and this is a key to the dynamics leading up to the Farhud) the Arabs were betrayed in their hopes and expectations of a unified Arab state by the victorious allies in World War I. That, and then having to see the birth of a Jewish state fueled resentment that "justified" in the Arab mind a dual opposition to the British as well as the Jews, and alliance with Hitler was the path to "killing two birds" together.

There is another important aspect of this work, and that is the context Black gives us for understanding the notorious "Transfer Agreement" between Zionist Jews and the new Nazi regime. This event is often cited by flaming anti-Israel zealots as an example of nefarious Zionists doing anything to realize their plan to "steal" Palestine. Well, it isn't so simple as that, and you will know why if you read Black's searing account of anti-Jewish progroms in European countries and the reluctance of other nations to allow those fleeing for their lives to enter and take refuge. Where were the Jews to go? Black clarifies an important point--that in such a warped, hate-filled, and what we Christians call the "fallen" world there may be times when the only recourse left is to make a deal with the devil and try to save something. The Zionists, according to Black, were the only ones who understood that as bad as the pogroms were, things could get a lot worse, and people needed to have a place to go. He also gives us good reasons why the Zionists were opposed by other Jews, who felt themselves thoroughly assimilated into countries where they felt identified nationally and trusted in the civilized realities they were accustomed to. Why go to a flea infested, sweltering desert environment like Palestine?

One can understand what the Arabs were looking at from their point of view: the transmission of a largely German colony in the historic environment of the Middle East. This does not, of course, excuse the fundamentally anti-semitic element in Arab culture nor the Islamic-inspired savagery of the Farhud. Far from it. It's just that Black writes in such a way as to illuminate the various perturbations at work in this whole sordid story.

Edwin Black says it quite honestly, this book "THE FARHUD" should never have been written, but it was necessary. The world needs to read this book in order to understand Israel's enemies!!! The violent dispossession of the Jews in Iraq 1941 is unequalled anywhere. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem offered Hitler a solution for the Jews, and now today 2012 the Egyptians and Iranians are offering the same solution to a moon God !!! Politicians must stop this killing machine. You will know how and why once you start turning the pages of this factual horror story.

This book is an eye opener. The subject matter is sensitive. The author is meticulous in documentation. It is fantastic that Amazon has this book readily available to read and digest and apply to present day circumstances. It is available because freedom of speech,the first amendment, the undeniable power of the written word exist in the USA. I recommend this book to everyone seeking to tie the loose threads of history together.Sincerely, Linda Lee Grau Producer/Host "Talent in the Southland" internet radio show
