Black, Edwin, The Farhud, Roots of the Arab-Nazi Alliance in the Holocaust, Dialog Press, 2010
In June 1941 as the Anglo-Iraq War ended Iraqis slaughtered hundreds of Jews in Baghdad known as The Farhud. Edwin Black’s book is not really about that event however even though it uses the name. There is only one chapter on the Farhud and more than half the book is not about Iraq. Rather the author uses the Farhud to make his argument that Arab Muslims have hated Jews for over one thousand years which led them to support the Nazis during World War II.
