Writing this book has been like both a voyage and a detective series. I have had to follow up references from many different sources. In doing so I have learned a lot. I am aware that one of the difficulties in discussing the matter of Left anti-semitism is a certain shared ignorance amongst socialists, Jewish or otherwise, of the historical material and where to locate it. In fact anyone who claims to be an 'expert' in this area is just a fool. It was to help encourage other people to read the material that I have encountered that I have included the references in the main body of the text.
However, some people have suggested that I compile a list of the main books (as opposed to periodicals or newspapers) that I had the pleasure (or lack of) to read. These were
