A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A Finalist for the American Library in Paris Book Award A Publishers Marketplace Buzz Book "[An] excellent and chilling report-cum-memoir about one of the most unsettling phenomena in contemporary Europe." --James Kirchick, Wall Street Journal "Weitzmann's excellent book is a stellar focus upon the major influences producing an increase in anti-Semitism in France during the past 30 years. Thanks to the author's careful research, Hate is more than an analysis of recent anti-Semitic attacks. It has become a signpost, signaling where terrorists might strike next...The author's research is spot on and relevant. His writing is swift, vital and enlightening." --New York Journal of Books "[Hate has] an often illuminating intensity as it grapples with an unresolved French and European quandary...Cleareyed." --Roger Cohen, New York Times Book Review "Timely and richly reported, Hate is an investigation of the cross-pollination and convergence of the dominant anti-modern, anti-democratic forces shaping twenty-first century society and politics: far-right nationalism and Islamism. Cutting across conventional categories of left and right, to put a surge of violent anti-Semitism in France in deep historical, cultural and intellectual perspective, Weitzmann's absorbing reckoning carries urgent lessons and warnings for us all." --Philip Gourevitch, author of We Wish to Inform You that Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families "Fascinating and passionate." --Robert Siegel, Moment Magazine "A disturbing account that connects the rebirth of French anti-Semitism to global terror.

And yet despite that I believe it to be essential reading, especially for those who, like me, will ultimately remain unpersuaded by it. Because of course Marc Weitzmann may be right, and if he is then we will not be able to say we were not warned! 'Read it and weep' is too often a cliché but not here. For Hate is both a magnificent piece of writing and a prosecutor's brief--passionate, learned, and analytical at once, and as such a worthy descendant of the greatest of French 20th century polemics such Émile Zola's J'Accuse, Julien Benda's The Treason of the Intellectuals, and above all Marc Bloch's A Strange Defeat." --David Rieff, author of In Praise of Forgetting: Historical Memory and Its Ironies "Hate is that rare book that will make even those who feel they know the subject reconsider it entirely. Alternating cool analysis and shoe-leather reporting, Weitzmann reveals the strands of a conspiracy that is nearly two centuries in the making. In a tale of lies and betrayals worthy of a Balzac novel, Hate begins with a forgotten 19th century orientalist plotter, whose attraction to Islam was its potential to blow up modernity, and follows the poison down through the last century to our own moment.
