THIS MONTH’S READING IS:
Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew - by Avi Shlaim (336 pgs)
A timeless clash between Arab and Jewish civilization? Avi Shlaim tears up this script. His parents had many Muslim friends in Baghdad and no interest in Zionism. As anti-Semitism surged in Iraq, the Zionist underground fanned the flames. Yet when Iraqi Jews fled to Israel, they faced an uncertain future, their history was rewritten to serve a Zionist narrative.
