Very rare Russian language edition of Henry Ford's infamous series of anti-Semitic articles demonizing the Jewish people. Beginning in the Spring of 1920, industrialist and automobile magnate Henry Ford directed his personal newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, to chronicle what he considered the "Jewish menace". Every week for 91 issues, the paper exposed some sort of "Jewish-inspired" evil. These were based on The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which were first published in Russia in 1903. The most popular and aggressive stories were then chosen to be reprinted into four volumes called The International Jew. No copies of this Russian language version have been sold at auction for at least the past twenty-five years, according to our research.

Paper somewhat darkened and a little brittle, a few neat and mostly marginal tape repairs; very good.
