"(...) Landes's new work makes a distinctive and valuable contribution to the large body of existing literature on antisemitism and the global jihad. This is especially evident when he... brings his excellent skills of close reading, textual analysis, and attention to detail to bear on the material. At its core, this is a compelling critique of the various journalists and public figures --especially in France, Britain, and the United States--who managed to be consistently wrong about the facts and their causes." -- Jeffrey Herf, Quillette "From the moment Yasser Arafat launched his long-planned second intifada against Israel in 2000, the most brazen lies about both Jews and Israel were relentlessly told and widely believed. ... Richard Landes's new work ... fearlessly, carefully, relentlessly and brilliantly documents this history. ... This book is an important history lesson..." -- Phyllis Chesler, Jewish News Syndicate, "With its crisp, penetrating prose, its mastery of original and devastatingly insightful terminology (some of which is presented above), with moments of humor sprinkled in despite its very dark and depressing topic, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned for the Jews, Israel, and the future of Western Civilization." -- Andrew Pessin, The Tel Aviv Review of Books "(...)

Synopsis
Landes,a medievalist and historian of apocalyptic movements, takes us through thefirst years of the third millennium (2000-2003), documenting how a radicalinability of Westerners to understand the medieval mentality that drove GlobalJihad prompted a series of disastrous misinterpretations and misguidedreactions that have shaped our so-far unhappy century. These misinterpretationsin 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2005, contributed fundamentally to the ever-worsening moraland empirical disorientations of our information elites (journalists,academics, pundits). So while journalists reported Palestinian war propagandaas news (lethal journalism), they were also reporting Jihadi war propaganda asnews (own-goal war journalism). These radical disorientations havecreated our current dilemma of pervasive information distrust, deep splitswithin the voting public in most democracies, the politicization of science,and the inability of Western elites to defend their civilization, and instead,to stand down before an invasion., Drawingon the dynamics of apocalyptic movements, Landes looks at the turn of the millennium interms of a radical mismatch between two millennial styles, an Islamist pre-modern(Caliphators) and a Western post-modern (Woke). Due to a striking cognitivefailure, Westerners could neither see nor discuss the foe they faced, andrepeatedly, convinced they were bending the arc of history towards justice,took sharp wrong turns., A Winner of the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa 2023 Bernard Lewis Prize Landes, a medievalist and historian of apocalyptic movements, takes us through the first years of the third millennium (2000-2003), documenting how a radical inability of Westerners to understand the medieval mentality that drove Global Jihad prompted a series of disastrous misinterpretations and misguided reactions that have shaped our so-far unhappy century.
