In its portrayal of Judaism as a worldwide conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of Christian civilization; the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion remains one of the most infamous documents ever written. Despite being proven a crude forgery; the pamphlet managed to pervade twentieth-century thinking; often being twisted to suit its handlers' purposes; and to justify the most extreme persecution of the Jews. As recently as 2002; a documentary was aired in Egypt falsely presenting the Protocols as fact--and the Protocols is still regarded as a historical document in many other parts of the world.In A Rumor About the Jews; Stephen Eric Bronner systematically debunks the antisemitic assertions made in the Protocols. He also explores its history; its influence on right-wing movements throughout the twentieth century; and the ongoing appeal of bigotry. A work of intellectual history; A Rumor About the Jews takes the reader on a historical journey that provides a new and deeper understanding of an insidious ideology and its broader implications.Bronner's sharp and penetrating analysis offers new insights into the nature of antisemitism; along with a warning against underestimating the power of this hateful tract.

Review
3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Good PurchaseBy cecilg007This was a good purchase. Downloadable books are always the best because you get the book in minutes. I enjoy the reading and believe that all men; husbands and sons; both majority and minority should stand up for the rights of women. They are our equals and should not be treated any different. They should not have to change their last name when married as we. They should be equal heads of the household and not secondary citizens to ourselves. This book lets you see the continued unequality that exist and I am thankful .com has this book available. Although the review recieved 5 stars; I was not satisfied that the book did not have page numbers. Page numbers are important; especially when you are in school and you have to cite references.
