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 \u003cem\u003eProtocols\u003c\/em\u003e as fact--and the \u003cem\u003eProtocols\u003c\/em\u003e is still regarded as a historical document in many other parts of the world.\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eA Rumor About the Jews\u003c\/em\u003e, Stephen Eric Bronner systematically debunks the antisemitic assertions made in the \u003cem\u003eProtocols\u003c\/em\u003e. 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, \u003cem\u003eA Rumor About the Jews\u003c\/em\u003e takes the reader on a historical journey that provides a new and deeper understanding of an insidious ideology and its broader implications.\u003cbr\u003eBronner'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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStephen Eric Bronner\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Political Science and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
