The description and review at Amazon say that this book "is a model of the lost art of troublemaking scholarship"
(troublemaking is now scholarship?), is a "a vitally significant reorientation of Jewish historiography" and explains "the scriptural basis for anti-Semitic claims regarding the bloodthirstiness of the Jews".

Wonderful! Academics are now publishing pivotal research based on the story of Purim to prove to everyone that Haman's plan to eliminate all the Jews on the planet was really a Jewish plot to let the Jews unleash Jewish violence on passive gentiles.

David Irving's similar studies haven't been that well received... yet.

Is this the future of academia?

Great cover photo of "Jewish violence": a "bloodthirsty" Chassidic teenager destroying Haman's name in a book with a drill -- as contrasted with two thousand years of intermittent real genocide of Jews by gentile hordes in the name of the "God of Love." (No doubt includeding some of that teenager's family a generation or two ago.)

Another milestone in the PC rewriting of history by another disgrace to the Jewish people, and to the persecuted academic minority of scholars in search of truth.
