British journalist Oliver, author of books on Gandhi, European famine, Norwegian resistance against the Nazis, and Shakespeare "uses an imaginative and unusual approach to develop his portrait of Martin Buber. He devotes each chapter to a Biblical archetype - Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Psalmist, Isaiah, and Servant. He moves from Buber's response to each as a Biblical human figure, to the Hasidic material in which Buber traces the same theme, and finally to its contemporary expression in the I-Thou philosophy" (jacket text).

Pierre Aubery praised the rich documentation of the book, its fluid novelistic style, and its discussion of antisemitism in France, on the left and right; along with some criticism of Weinberg's tendency to confuse comments on Israeli politics with antisemitism. To some degree, however, the point is that anti-zionism serves as a mask for anti-semitism. Julien Bauer asks how then it has been possible for Jewish candidates to be elected by general populations in France: how has French antisemitism been incapable of preventing this?
