This 9th edition of Martin Gilbert’s Atlas of Jewish History
spans over four thousand years of history in 196 maps, starting
with the worldwide migration of the Jews from ancient Mesopotamia
and coming up into the first decades of the twenty-first century.
It presents a vivid picture of a fascinating people and the trials
and tribulations which have haunted the Jewish story, as well as
Jewish achievements. The themes covered include: Prejudice and
Violence – from the destruction of Jewish independence between
722 and 586 BC to the flight from German persecution in the 1930s.
Also covers the incidence of anti-Semitic attacks in the Americas
and Europe. Migrations and Movements – from ancient dispersals
from the promised land, to new maps on the ingathering of exiles
from Arab and Muslim lands from 1948, and from the break-up of the
Soviet Union in 1992. Society, Trade and Culture – from Jewish
trade routes between 800 and 900, the geography of the Jews of
China, of India, to communal life in the ghettoes and the situation
of world Jewry in the opening years of the twenty-first century.
Politics, Government and War – from the Court Jews of the
fifteenth century to the founding and growth of the modern State of
Israel. This new edition now includes an additional 39 of Martin
Gilbert’s maps, across the whole range of Jewish history,
originally published across a range of publications, now gathered
in this one volume for the first time. Over 50 years on from its
first publication, this book is still an indispensable guide to
Jewish history.
