The main section is the 1926 effort by Segel, a German Jewish journalist, to expose the fraud; he shows how the infamous text was plagiarized from trash fiction, Machiavelli's speeches and a political satire... Levy adds much in his comprehensive introduction. Unlike most anti-Semitic works, he notes, this has no national context or identity. Thus it has served multiple purposes for different audiences; it was not only publicized by the Nazis, but it also remains influential in the Arab world and eastern Europe and among American right-wingers and black nationalists.\"-Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865936703831,"sku":"9780803292451","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780803292451.jpg?v=1722276273","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-lie-and-a-libel-9780803292451","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
