Three Jews, Dreyfus, Beilis and Frank, were charged with heinous crimes in the generation before World War I. Examining events that developed out of their trials, this book explores anti-Semitism and the ways that politicians tried to use hatred of Jews as a political device to mobilize the masses.

Esau's Tears explores the rise of modern racial-political anti-Semitism in Europe and the United States. The evidence presented in this volume suggests that anti-Semitism was more ambiguous than usually presented and by no means clearly pointed to a rising hatred of Jews everywhere.
