    Relationships between Jews andMuslims have known many flashpoints,affecting stability in the Middle Eastand with consequences around theglobe.

Drawingon Jewish, Christian and Muslimsources, In Ishmaels House uncovers

    the human voice of this centuries-oldconflict. Ultimately, Gilberts movingaccount of mutual tolerance betweenMuslims and Jews provides aperspective on current events and atemplate for the future.
