The History Of A Lie: A Study (1921)

By Herman Bernstein

Book Overview

The History of a Lie: A Study is a book written by Herman Bernstein in 1921. The book is an examination of the concept of a lie, its origins, and its impact on society. Bernstein explores the idea that lies are not just falsehoods, but also have a history and a cultural significance. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the history of lies, tracing their development from ancient times to the present day. Bernstein explores the role of lies in politics, religion, and society, and how they have been used to manipulate and control people. He also examines the psychological and social factors that contribute to the spread of lies.The second part of the book focuses on a specific lie: the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This infamous document was a forgery that purported to be a plan by Jewish leaders to take over the world. Bernstein examines the origins of the Protocols, its spread throughout the world, and the impact it had on society. He also explores the psychology behind why people believed in the lie, and how it contributed to the rise of anti-Semitism.Overall, The History of a Lie: A Study is a thought-provoking examination of the role of lies in society. Bernstein's analysis is still relevant today, as lies continue to be used to manipulate and control people in politics, media, and everyday life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
