Editorial Review:
April 6, 2000
As some readers may be aware, a hoax e-mail has been circulating widely that falsely claims Amazon.com has favorably reviewed this book. This allegation is, of course, absolutely untrue. Nevertheless, this rumor has become so widespread on the Internet that it's already a recognized "urban legend," just like alligators living in the sewers. Amazon.com obviously does not endorse The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. This book is one of the most infamous, and tragically influential, examples of racist propaganda ever written. It may be useful to some as a tool in the teaching of the history of anti-Semitism, but it's unquestionably propaganda.
Does Amazon.com sell this book? Of course we do, along with millions of other titles. The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is classified under "controversial knowledge" in our store, along with books about UFOs, demonic possession, and all manner of conspiracy theories. You can also find books in other sections of Amazon.com's online bookstore that analyze The Protocols' fraudulent origins and its tragic historical role in promoting anti-Semitism and Jewish persecution, including A Lie and a Libel: The History of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Should Amazon.com sell The Protocols and other controversial works? As a bookseller, Amazon.com strongly believes that providing open access to written speech, no matter how hateful or ugly, is one of the most important things we do. It's a service that the United States Constitution protects, and one that follows a long tradition of booksellers serving as guardians of free expression in our society.
Not all countries view these issues the same way. And one of our greatest challenges is to work cooperatively with other governments to respect their laws without compromising our core values of free expression and free exchange of information--values that the Internet embodies on a global scale.
Nevertheless, Amazon.com believes it is censorship not to sell certain books because we believe their message repugnant, and we would be rightly criticized if we did so. Therefore, we will continue to make this book and other controversial works available in the United States and everywhere else, except where they are prohibited by law.
Furthermore, because we strongly believe that the appropriate response to repugnant speech is not censorship, but more speech, we will continue to allow readers, authors, and publishers to express their views about the books and other products we offer on our Web site.
We hope we have eliminated any confusion surrounding this book. If you happened to be one of the many who received the infamous e-mail, we would appreciate it if you would pass this along to your friends. It is very hurtful to everyone at Amazon.com to be accused of racism.
Thank you for your consideration.

Amazon.com, April 6, 2000 Review
Although it's a pernicious fraud, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion has unfortunately had a widespread influence--all of it evil--on the history of the 20th century. It was exposed as a hoax in 1921, yet it has been used as a justification for the Holocaust and for innumerable pogroms in Russia and the Soviet Union.
The Protocols was supposedly written in 1897 from the minutes of 24 secret meetings between Jews and Freemasons in which they conspired to bring down Western civilization and jointly rule the world. In reality, it is nothing of the sort. In 1921, Philip Graves of the London Times revealed The Protocols to be a fraud, showing it to be based on a French satire aimed at Napoleon III. In a series of side-by-side extracts printed in the Times, Graves demonstrated that the forgers took long portions of the original text, titled Dialogues in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, and simply replaced "France" with "Zion" and "The Emperor" with "We the Jews." Further investigations by the Russian historian Vladimir Burtsev revealed other sources for The Protocols, including a fantasy novel by Hermann Goedsche and, more darkly, the hand of the Russian secret police.
Sadly, despite its clearly fraudulent nature, The Protocols continues today to feed the fears of the credulous and to fan the flames of fanaticism and hate. --Perry M. Atterberry
From Amazon.com Please note that Amazon.com does not endorse the views expressed in this book or those in the publisher's book description below.
The author of this translation of the famous Protocols was himself a victim of the Revolution. He had lived for many years in Russia and was married to a Russian lady. Among his other activities in Russia he had been for a number of years a Russian Correspondent of the MORNING POST, a position which he occupied when the Revolution broke out, and his vivid descriptions of events in Russia will still be in the recollection of many of the readers of that Journal. Naturally he was singled out for the anger of the Soviet. On the day that Captain Cromie was murdered by Jews, Victor Marsden was arrested and thrown into the Peter-Paul Prison, expecting every day to have his name called out for execution. This, however, he escaped, and eventually he was allowed to return to England very much of a wreck in bodily health. However, he recovered under treatment and the devoted care of his wife and friends. One of the first things he undertook, as soon as he was able, was this translation of the Protocols. Mr. Marsden was eminently well qualified for the work. His intimate acquaintance with Russia, Russian life and the Russian language on the one hand, and his mastery of a terse literary English style on the other, placed him in a position of advantage which few others could claim. The consequence is that we have in his version an eminently readable work, and though the subject-matter is somewhat formless, Mr. Marsden's literary touch reveals the thread running through the twenty-four Protocols.

Rating:  - A better version is long past due
First, I must commend Amazon for making this book available for purchase. I don't know too many other places I would have been able to acquire it. It's nice to see that bookstores are willing to offer any kind of work regardless of their controversial nature. However, I will say that I'm fairly surprised that this is the version that's being offered and kind of explains the statement Amazon issued about offering this particular text.
I am aware that this text has been proven to be ... Read More
Rating:  - Boring but good for researching the NWO
Debate till your blue in the face if you want to whether its forgery or not or debate whether you can point fingers at and blame all the worlds ills on the Jews, the Masons, the Illuminati, the bankers, the British and other European Royal families, multi-national corporations, blah, blah, blah, etc. I just look at this as fairly accurate depiction of what the social/economic/political engineers have done and are doing since it was published. As far as entertainment value I would liken reading the ... Read More

The book "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" is a very influential book in my life. I do not hate Jews, but being a follower of Christ, I know the chosen ones are the ones who simply love the Lord with all their heart, mind, body and spirit; and those who have kept true to Him. I do believe it is the Bible of Satan with very specific protocols. While God qualifies the called (ie Moses was an educated person under Egypt's system, but was slow to talk, the Lord gave him a helper to speak for ... Read More
Rating: - If a forgery, where's the original?
There is something to be said of this book. It is nowhere NEAR the complete edition (There are more versions of this than I can count, almost all are edited and shortened considerably).
"The evil Jew" being responsible or not, take the "jew" out of it, and you'll see this book of the supposed meeting is actually a book of predictions that has come true in every respect.
If nothing else, it is a 95% accurate representation of today's western society...a godless, obsessed with ... Read More
Rating: - Shameful
"The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is racist and anti-semitic to its black core. Conceived and executed over a hundred years ago by the Czarist secret police, it purports to spell out a secret Jewish plan for world domination. The language is laughably inept. Despite the fact that it has been demonstrated to be fraudulent beyond a reasonable doubt, beyond all doubt, to a moral certainty, this pernicious book has taken on a life of its own even in the face of the condemnation of decent people worldwide. ...
