"Completing 'The Plot' in the last month of his life, Will Eisner, the great master of American comics, tackled what he regarded as his most powerful work. Deeply disturbed that the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purports to be the actual blueprint by Jewish leaders to take over the world, continued to be published and disseminated to millions of people around the globe, Eisner hoped that his own graphic account of this outrageous fabrication could reach a mass audience in a way that no academic work possibly could. Eisner powerfully depicts the rise of modern antisemitic thought as seen through the spread of the 'Protocols' itself." - dust jacket. "A work more disturbing than fiction from 'the father of graphic novels'." - New York Times. 148 pages. Bibliography. Index. Profusely illustrated in Eisner's inimitable style. Clean, bright, tight and unmarked with trivial wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. An excellent example of this fascinating work.; Illustrations; 4to.

About this title

Synopsis

The Plot, which examines the astonishing conspiracy and the fabrication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, has become a worldwide phenomenon since its hardcover publication, taught in classrooms around the globe. Purported to be the actual blueprints by Jewish leaders to take over the world, the Protocols, first published in 1902, have become gospel truth to international millions. Presenting a pageant of historical figures from nineteenth-century Russia to today's ideologues, including Tsar Nicholas II, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler, Will Eisner unravels and dispels one of the most devastating hoaxes of the twentieth century.
