An invented confession became a weapon of political propaganda. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion falsely claimed to reveal a secret Jewish plan to control finance, newspapers and governments. This critical edition examines the antisemitic forgery’s circulation from imperial Russia to Henry Ford’s newspaper and Nazi propaganda, and the evidence of borrowing from Maurice Joly’s earlier satire.
The 111-page printed book contains all twenty-four sections of the selected 1920 English text, along with its original preface, introduction and epilogue. A modern historical introduction, chronology, source information and references distinguish the document’s invented claims from its documented publication history.
A separate 34-page PDF companion provides a close reading of every section, with 72 focused notes and 48 study questions. It examines the invented collective voice, supposed control of opposing newspapers, financial scapegoating and promises of order after manufactured chaos. The commentary and questions are digital, rather than bound into the printed volume.
