Call for Enlargement

edit

I came here because Arts and Letters Daily (surely I needn't explain?) featured a long Herf review in New Republic of what is now the definitive study of Anti Semitism, "A Lethal Obsession: Anti-Semitism from Antiquity to the Global Jihad by Robert S. Wistrich Random House, 1200 pp." TNR is major talking head media, and since it's on ALD the review will be discussed all over the English speaking academic world by tomorrow. (A quick dodge on actually reading a 1200 page book!) I never heard of Herf but after that review, I wanted to know more. I see in the bio some major prizes, publishers, Harvard UP, so on. Any takers? I can't do it, don't know his work. My guess: he gets tapped by the media to be the public intellectual who confronts Tony Judt.Profhum (talk) 07:29, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
