As described on Amazon: WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD • The prescient former New York Times writer delivers an urgent wake-up call to all Americans exposing the alarming rise of antisemitism in this country—and explains what we can do to defeat it.
 
On October 27, 2018, eleven Jews were gunned down as they prayed at their synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest attack on Jews in American history.
 
For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah, came as a shock. But antisemitism is the oldest hatred, commonplace across the Middle East and on the rise for years in Europe. So that terrible morning in Pittsburgh, and continued surge of hate crimes against Jews in cities and towns across the country, raises a question Americans cannot avoid: Could it happen here?
 
This book is Weiss’s answer.
