An examination of how the Jews-real and imagined-so challenged the Christian majority in medieval Europe that it became a society that was religiously and culturally antisemitic in new ways In medieval Europe, Jews were not passive victims of the Christian community, as is often assumed, but rather were startlingly assertive, forming a Jewish civilization within Latin Christian society. Both Jews and Christians considered themselves to be Gods chosen people. These dueling claims fueled the rise of both cultures as they became rivals for supremacy. In How the West Became Antisemitic, Ivan Marcus shows how Christian and Jewish competition in medieval Europe laid the foundation for modern antisemitism.Marcus explains that Jews accepted Christians as misguided practitioners of their ancestral customs, but regarded Christianity as idolatry. Christians, on the other hand, looked at Jews themselves-not Judaism-as despised. They directed their hatred at a real and imagined Jew: theoretically subordinate, but sometimes assertive, an implacable enemy within. In their view, Jews were permanently and physically Jewish-impossible to convert to Christianity. Thus Christians came to hate Jews first for religious reasons, and eventually for racial ones. Even when Jews no longer lived among them, medieval Christians could not forget their former neighbors. Modern antisemitism, based on the imagined Jew as powerful and world dominating, is a transformation of this medieval hatred.A sweeping and well-documented history of the rivalry between Jewish and Christian civilizations during the making of Europe, How the West Became Antisemitic is an ambitious new interpretation of the medieval world and its impact on modernity

The USSR's invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 sparked a nine-year conflict until Soviet forces withdrew, dooming the communist Afghanistan government to defeat at the hands of the Mujahideen, the country's popular resistance backed by the United States and other powers. Gregory Fremont-Barnes examines the distrous invasion and its enormous implications on the global stage, most significantly its exposure of fatal defects in the Soviet political structure, which played a decisive role in the disintegration of the USSR. For Afghanistan, Soviet occupation prolonged the existing bitter civil war, which by 1996 left the Taliban in control and laid the foundation for NATO/ISAF intervention in 2001. Its significance often overlooked, the Soviet-Afghan War marks one of the seminal events of the late 20th century. Updated and revised for the new edition, with full-colour maps and new images throughout, this succinct account explains the origins, events and consequences of the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.
