Jews Don’t Count (Hardback)

'Few people in public life have David Baddiel's intellectual or cultural range, and in this new book he applies this wide learning to demonstrate, brilliantly and eloquently, how antisemitism is propounded in our national life in thousands of unthinking ways. Anyone with any history will know that Antisemitism was the original racism, and this short and powerful book shows, with remarkable humanity and humour, that no contemporary conversation about racism is complete without confronting antisemitism. An essential read - and a compulsory one too, if I had my way.' - Sathnam Sanghera

'Funny, complex and intellectually satisfying - a really good piece of work.' - Frankie Boyle

'Patient, clear and persuasive - which makes it not just admirable but valuable' - Jonathan Freedland

'Just so brilliantly argued and written, I was completely swept along' - Hadley Freeman

'This is a bare-knuckle fist-fight of a book - snarly, sweary, unrestrained, unsparing. Baddiel's great advantage as a polemicist is that he's familiar with the worlds where anti-Semites flourish - the football terraces, comedy, journalism, the stage, Twitter, even the Labour Party - and is well apprised of their tactics. It isn't that he punches low; it's that he knows how to defend himself when they do. A win by knockout - early in the third.' - Howard Jacobson

'David Baddiel is a brilliant thinker and writer. Even when I disagree with him--especially when I disagree with him - I feel profound gratitude for his intellectual and moral clarity. This is a brave and necessary book.' - Jonathan Safran Foer
