The first comprehensive account of the evolution and exploitation
of the Judeo-Bolshevik myth, from its origins to the present day.
For much of the twentieth century, Europe was haunted by a threat
of its own imagining: Judeo-Bolshevism. This myth-that Communism
was a Jewish plot to destroy the nations of Europe-was a paranoid
fantasy, and yet fears of a Jewish Bolshevik conspiracy took hold
during the Russian Revolution and spread across Europe. During
World War II, these fears sparked genocide. Paul Hanebrink's
history begins with the counterrevolutionary movements that roiled
Europe at the end of World War I. Fascists, Nazis, conservative
Christians, and other Europeans, terrified by Communism, imagined
Jewish Bolsheviks as enemies who crossed borders to subvert order
from within and bring destructive ideas from abroad. In the years
that followed, Judeo-Bolshevism was an accessible and potent
political weapon. After the Holocaust, the specter of
Judeo-Bolshevism did not die. Instead, it adapted to, and became a
part of, the Cold War world. Transformed yet again, it persists
today on both sides of the Atlantic in the toxic politics of
revitalized right-wing nationalism. Drawing a worrisome parallel
across one hundred years, Hanebrink argues that Europeans and
Americans continue to imagine a transnational ethno-religious
threat to national ways of life, this time from Muslims rather than
Jews.
