"Political leaders of the 1930s may be accused of blindness to danger in their failed attempts to appease totalitarian aggression, but no one doubts they believed they were doing so to preserve their way of life. In contrast, Raphael Israeli suggests that twenty-first century appeasement of Islamists, wherever it occurs, is different." "This study fills a large void in the examination of the consequences of new migrations of Muslim populations into advanced and modern societies throughout the world."--BOOK JACKET.
