This distinguished work of historical scholarship offers a rigorous and comprehensive analysis of the relationships of Jews and Gentiles in Germany during the crucial decades before World War I. Greeted with extraordinary enthusiasm (see back of jacket) when it was first published in Hebrew, it is at last avail- able to English-language readers in a fluent translation. Professor Tal traces the growth of anti-Semitism as an important political force in the Second Reich, particularly as it was rooted both in Christian reli- gious and political ideology, and in the anti-Christian, God-is-dead theology. Basing his findings on exhaustive research in original sources, he explores the phenomenon of anti-Semitism in all of its manifestations and shows how it related to the social and political condi tions of the period. At the same time, he presents a dispassionate account of the failure of German Jews and of German liberals to achieve a common understanding of the nature of the modern state, and he explains why the Jew in Germany remained an "outsider" in the eyes of even well-intentioned liberals.
