A powerful account of Jews living in Muslim lands and the surprising truths about their shared history The relationship between Jews and Muslims has been a flashpoint that affects stability in the Middle East and has consequences around the globe.

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.

Ultimately Gilberts moving account of mutual tolerance between Muslims and Jews provides a perspective on current events and a template for the future.
