Genocide
Genocide is a topic beset by ambiguities over meaning and double standards. In this stimulating and gripping history, William Rubinstein sets out to clarify the meaning of the term genocide and its historical evolution, and provides a working definition that informs the rest of the book. He makes the important argument that each instance of genocide is best understood within a particular historical framework and provides an original chronology of…

Antisemitism
Oxford University Press's ‘Very Short Introduction’ series now has more than one hundred titles surveying a wide variety of fields. A large minority are on historical topics, and these are likely to be read with interest by students writing essays, and, indeed, by their lecturers writing their classroom presentations. Anti-Semitism—hostility to Jews—has been described as ‘the world's oldest hatred’, and, in one guise or another, seems strangely i…
The social origins and career patterns of Oxford and Cambridge matriculants, 1840-1900
Education at Oxford and Cambridge universities has invariably been taken in modern times as a prime marker of ‘establishment’ status. Nevertheless, few searching studies of the social origins and subsequent career patterns among Oxbridge students have been undertaken. This article reports on a study of approximately 100 randomly selected students matriculating each at Oxford and Cambridge universities in 1840, 1870 and 1900 – a total of over 600 …

The Secret of Leopold Amery
Leopold Amery (1873-1955) is best-known as a lifelong champion of imperial preference and empire unity, and was an important figure in the Conservative party during the first half of the twentieth century. Yet Amery was also a man with an extraordinary secret, which this article explores. Amery's mother Elisabeth Leitner (née Saphir) was Jewish. Amery went to extraordinary lengths to conceal his Jewish background, which was unknown until recently…

Britain's elites in the Inter‐War period 1918–39
For most studies of Britain's elites 1914 marks a fundamental break This article critically assesses this view. Instead of the decline that is traditionally argued, it contends that the 1920s saw the consolidation of a reconfigured elite unified politically within an electorally dominant Conservative party. The First World War and its aftermath, far from fatally weakening the elites, actually encouraged this process. The result was the success an…
A History of the Jews in the English-Speaking World
Henry Page Croft and the National Party 1917-22
No period of modern British electoral history was as confused in its substance, and hence less enduring in its political consequences, as the concluding years of the first world war and the period immediately following. Of the familiar landmarks of the British experience, the Liberal party was split, Labour was no longer subservient to the Liberals, and after 1918, the Irish National party had disappeared, as had the male monopoly of political li…
