{"product_id":"lie-and-a-libel","title":"Lie and a Libel","description":"A strange and repugnant mystery of the twentieth century is the durability of the \u003ci\u003eProtocols of the Elders of Zion\u003c\/i\u003e, a clumsy forgery purporting to be evidence of the supposed Jewish plot to rule the world. Though it has been exposed as a forgery, some apprentice brownshirt is always rediscovering it, the latest in a line of gullibility that includes, most famously, Henry Ford. Recently it has been translated into Japanese and circulates once again with renewed virulence in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. \u003cp\u003eIn 1924 in Germany the Jewish author and journalist Binjamin Segel wrote a major historical exposé of the fraud and later edited his work into a shorter form, published as \u003ci\u003eWelt-Krieg, Welt-Revolution, Welf-Verschwörung, Welt-Oberregierung \u003c\/i\u003e(Berlin 1926). Translator Richard S. Levy, a specialist on the history of anti-semitism, provides an extensive introduction on the circumstances of Segel's work and the story of the \u003ci\u003eProtocols\u003c\/i\u003e up to the 1990s, including an explanation of its continuing psychological appeal and political function.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242160640344,"sku":"9780803292451","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780803292451.jpg?v=1777641319","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/lie-and-a-libel","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
