Blood Libel: The Damascus Affair Of 1840

Rating:
Summary: extremely interesting.
Review: i loved this book. its non-fiction, bUt i still read it in one shot. i recommend this book to anybody interested in jewish history. I liked the way the author described the fighting going on between Cremeiux and Montefiore. Two altruistic people who went out of their way to help out Jews worlds apart. They did it for the love of their nation. it still doesnt take the fact away that each one wanted the credit. But they do deserve it. Its very sad that after all that Cremieux did for his nation, his wife had his kids converted to Christianity.
