Newly revised and updated, this is the eighth edition of Martin Gilbert's atlas tracing the world-wide migrations of the Jews from ancient Mesopotamia to the opening years of the twenty-first century. Spanning over four thousand years of history in 152 maps, it presents a vivid picture of a fascinating people and the trials and tribulations which have haunted their story.

The themes covered include:

• Prejudice and Violence- from the destruction of Jewish independence between 722 and 586 BC to the Chmielnicki Massacres 1648- 1656 and the flight from German persecution in the 1930s. Includes the incidence of anti-semitic attacks in the Americas and Europe, and now updated to include anti-semitic acts in Britain, and the 2008 Mumbai Atrocity.


• Migrations and Movements- from the entry into the promised land, and the exodus from Ethiopia between 1974 and 1984, to Jewish migration in the twenty- first century.


• Society, Trade and Culture- from Jewish trade routes between 800 and 900, the geography of the Jews of China between 1800 and 1932 and the use of Hebrew printing presses between 1444 and 1860 and communal life in the ghettoes, to the situation of the New York Jewry in 1900 and world Jewry in the opening years of the twenty- first century.


• Politics, Government and War- from the Court Jews of the fifteenth century to the founding and growth of the modern State of Israel.

In addition to the expanded section on prejudice and violence, this new edition is also updated to include maps showing Jewish museums in the United States and Canada, and Europe, and the Jewish World in 2009.
