The relationship between Jews and Muslims has been a flashpoint that affects stability in the Middle East and has consequences around the globe. In this absorbing and eloquent book Martin Gilbert challenges the standard media portrayal and presents a fascinating account of hope, opportunity, fear, and terror that have characterized these two peoples through the 1,400 years of their intertwined history.
Harking back to the Biblical story of Ishmael and Isaac, Gilbert takes the reader from the origins of the fraught relationshipthe refusal of Medinas Jews to accept Mohammed as a prophetthrough the ages of the Crusader reconquest of the Holy Land and the great Muslim sultanates to the present day. He explores the impact of Zionism in the first half of the twentieth century, the clash of nationalisms during the Second World War, the mass expulsions and exodus of 800,000 Jews from Muslim lands following the birth of Israel, the Six-Day War and its aftermath, and the political sensitivities of the current Middle East.
In Ishmaels House sheds light on a time of prosperity and opportunity for Jews in Muslim lands stretching from Morocco to Afghanistan, with many instances of Muslim openness, support, and courage. Drawing on Jewish, Christian, and Muslim sources, Gilbert uses archived material, poems, letters, memoirs, and personal testimony to uncover the human voice of this centuries-old conflict. Ultimately Gilberts moving account of mutual tolerance between Muslims and Jews provides a perspective on current events and a template for the future.

T he idea for this book came from the late Israel Asper, head of the Asper Foundation of Winnipeg, Canada, who, shortly before he died, suggested it as a topic for me. The trustees of the Asper Foundation took up his idea after his death and enabled me to pursue it by making available the resources of the Foundation. Their enthusiasm, and that of Moses Levy, Executive Director, and Jeffrey Morry, Senior Program Manager, of the Asper Foundation, has been a constant support. At no point has the Asper Foundation sought editorial control.
Throughout the course of my writing, the sustained encouragement and support of Sir Ronald Cohen and Sir Harry Solomon, two special friends, has meant a great deal to me, and has considerably enhanced the book. They have been an inspiration to me in telling this muchneglected story.
The originating publisher, McClelland & Stewart of Toronto, has been supportive from the outset. I am grateful to the company and its staff, and to Doug Pepper, Susan Renouf, Marilyn Biderman, Aruna Dahanayake, Anne Holloway and Chris Bucci, for helping produce this volume to the highest standards. My Canadian literary agent and friend, Michael Levine, has been a font of encouragement. Roy Bishko made an important contribution toward the preparation of the maps. The cartographer Tim Aspden, with his usual skill and patience, has turned my rough drafts into maps of the highest quality.
I am grateful to Yale University Press, both in New Haven and London, and in particular Robert Baldock and Heather Nathan, for making the book available to the rest of the Englishspeaking world. I am grateful above all to those Jews, born in Muslim lands, who have helped me with my search for material and encouraged me in my task, among them: Dr. Ada Aharoni, Lord Alliance, Mordechai BenPorat, Mordechai Bibi, Samuel J. Cohen, Dr. Naim E. Dangoor OBE, Ellis Douek, Bertha Fattal, Shahnaz Keypour Feinstein, Robert Khalifa, Marc Khedr, Raphael N. Luzon, Naim S. Mahlab, Jacob and Odette Masliyah, Tania Pardo, Tony Rocca, Claudia Roden, Tova Murad Sadka, Professor Victor D. Sanua, Myriam Schechter Wolf, David R. Shama, Edwin Shuker, Vivianne M. Silver, Julian Sofaer, Eli Timan, Edna Turner (Anzarut), Suzy Vidal (Sultana Latifa), Regina Waldman (Bulbil), Ovadia Yerushalmy, Levana Zamir and Aida Zelouf.
