Jason Wittenberg is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of Crucibles of Political Loyalty: Church Institutions and Electoral Continuity in Hungary.
"The history of pogroms arouses passions, and its study requires sober creativity. Jeffrey S. Kopstein and Jason Wittenberg, outstanding political scientists representing different approaches, have collaborated on this subject for a decade, mining archives, refining data, and considering interpretations. The result is a work that opens a new era in this field of study. Scholars of the Holocaust not only should but will read it."
Antony Polonsky, Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies, Brandeis University:
"This well-documented and pathbreaking study examines the wave of anti-Jewish violence that occurred in the summer of 1941 after the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. It seeks both to explain why pogroms occurred in some localities and not in others and examines the reasons for their outbreak. This book is essential reading for all those interested in the Holocaust in Eastern Europe and, indeed, in Europe in the twentieth century."
Matthew Lange, Professor of Sociology, McGill University:
"Jeffrey S. Kopstein and Jason Wittenberg's Intimate Violence is an enjoyable read, rare in its analysis of the pogroms, and offering a relatively new interpretation of their causes. The authors do a very impressive job of gathering and analyzing data and offer a nice statistical analysis showing evidence in favor of the threat-power model in this well-written and easy-to-follow book."
Dariusz Stola, Institute of Political Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences:
"Intimate Violence is a piece of scholarship of supreme quality and is a significant contribution to Holocaust history and studies of interethnic violence. Jeffrey S. Kopstein and Jason Wittenberg skillfully apply statistical methods and they offer insights that reach well beyond the specific time and region of the events."
