The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem. (link
to detailed bibliographic information and excerpt)
"At the apex of his business career Henry Ford, the industrial genius,
sensed that a terrific effort was being made to take his business from him and
manipulate it into the hands of the money-changers. Mr. Ford had the impression
that these manipulators were being engineered by powerful Jewish financiers."
Ford gathered his brightest men to research the international Jew. The results
were published and circulated by Ford. Ford begins each chapter with a Protocol.
A Rumor About The Jews: Reflections on Antisemitism And The Protocols Of
The Learned Elders Of Zion.
From Library Journal
In this book, Bronner (political science and comparative literature, Rutgers
Univ.), who won the Michael A. Harrington Prize for Moments of Decision: Political
History and the Crises of Radicalism, places The Protocols of the Elders of
Zion within a broader framework, arguing effectively that acceptance of the
notorious forgery had as much to do with reactions against liberalism and democracy
as it did with anti-Semitism. According to the author, the popularity of the
Protocols stemmed from political anti-Semitism, linking Jews to the "evils"
of the Enlightenment (from the viewpoint of the reactionaries), rather than
the usual religious and social reasons for anti-Semitism. Although it does not
replace Norman Cohn's Warrant for Genocide (Serif, 1998), which remains the
standard English-language source on the early history of the Protocols, this
book makes an original and valuable contribution to the literature. (Readers
might be interested to know that Russian historian Mikhail Lepekhine has determined
that Mathieu Golovinski was the author of the infamous Protocols.) For some
reason, the CIP for this book uses the subheading "juvenile literature," which
it is not. Recommended for Judaica and intellectual history collections. --John

An Appraisal of the Protocols Of Zion.
The book takes apart each Protocol and explains it. It also provides information
and evidence that shows how the Protocols are inconsistent and suspicious. The
book does a good job of focusing on Nilus and the Bern Trials. Fantastic comparison
between the parallels of the Dialogues and the Protocols. Overall, I highly
recommend this book for those who want a better understanding of the Protocols,
evidence, and parallels.
The Truth About "The Protocols Of Zion."
This is a complete book that includes the origin of the protocols as well
as how the protocols were spread throughout the world. Includes the Dialogues
in Hell and many other texts. Explains how the Protocols were exposed by the
London Times.
Warrant for Genocide: The Myth of the Jewish world-conspiracy and the Protocols
of the Elders of Zion.
From Publishers Weekly
The myth of Jews as children of the Devil, mysterious, uncanny and possessed
of sinister powers, has persisted since the second century, when they were accused
of killing Christian children, torturing the consecrated wafer and poisoning
wells. In his history of the demonizing of Jewry, British academic Cohn (The
Pursuit of the Millennium), describes the modern adaptation of that myth as
promulgated through the turn-of-the-century forgery "Protocols of the Elders
of Zion." This document was purported to plan Jewish domination of the globe
through control of political parties, banks, the press and public opinion, "casting
a net of gold and steel around the world." Although soon to be proven a blatant
hoax by the Berne trial in 1935, the "Protocols" sold 120,000 copies in Germany
in one year and helped convince 17 million Germans to vote Nazi in 1933. Cohn
shows how the fiction of a Jewish conspiracy then combined with volkisch-racist
ideology to produce the Holocaust: civilization needed to be rescued from this
dark, earthbound race by the "world of good, of light, incarnated in blond,
blue-eyed people" marching under the sun-god's symbol, the swastika. This, Cohn
argues, with convincing evidence, was the justification used for murdering two
thirds of all the Jews in Europe. Long out of print, Cohn's book, complete with
a new afterword and extended extracts from the "Protocols" in the appendix,
is a well-documented, accessible introduction to a key factor in the history
of the Holocaust.
