In 1144 the mutilated body of William of Norwich, a young apprentice leatherworker, was found abandoned outside the city's walls. The boy bore disturbing signs of torture, and a story spread that it was a ritual murder, performed by Jews, in imitation of the Crucifixion as a mockery of Christianity. The outline of William's tale eventually gained currency far beyond Norwich, and the idea that Jews engaged in ritual murder became firmly rooted in the European imagination.

A phenomenal, rich history exploring the blood libel. The writing is beautiful, the story is detailed and nuanced, the performance was lovely. Though academic in nature, it's an accessible read. More people should know the roots of the anti-Semitic trope still in use today and the geopolitical, economic and social factors which allowed for its creation and acceptance.

Michael Oren served as the Israeli ambassador to the United States from 2009 to 2013. An American by birth and a historian by training, Oren arrived at his diplomatic post just as Benjamin Netanyahu, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton assumed office. During Oren's tenure in office, Israel and America grappled with the Palestinian peace process, the Arab Spring, and existential threats to Israel posed by international terrorism and the Iranian nuclear program.

Excellent (and better than expected)

So many have criticized this books as one-sided republican propaganda but it was no such thing. Oren is clearly a champion of bipartisan support for Israel and, in fact, oftentimes his personal beliefs and political favorites clearly lean left. Very interesting to hear about the different ways American and Israeli leaders and civilians interpreted various world events and the story of how Oren straddled this divide while maintaining a deep commitment to both the USA and Israel. Everyone who cares about the Middle East (on either side) should read (or listen!) for a deeper understanding of the politics behind the scenes.
