MICHAEL GOLDFARB'S EMANCIPATION AT GLOBAL POST

Michael Goldfarb's column at Global Post includes the first of three extracts from his new book, Emancipation, published in the US by Simon & Schuster. He uses a fascinating section about Napoleon's conquest of Ancona and subsequent liberation of the Jewish ghetto there to discuss the current debate on 'assimilation' of Europe's Moslem population...you can link to it here.

Next he'll need to draw parallels between Napoleon at his most meglomanical and Michael Bloomberg...
