  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;A work more disturbing than fiction from &quot;the father of graphic novels&quot; (&lt;I&gt;New York Times&lt;/I&gt;). &quot;The ultimate illustration of how absurdly comical and cancerous 'The Protocols' has been to mankind.&quot;&amp;#151;Thane Rosenbaum, &lt;I&gt;Los Angeles Times Book Review&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Plot&lt;/I&gt;, which examines the astonishing conspiracy and the fabrication of &lt;I&gt;The Protocols of the Elders of Zion&lt;/I&gt;, has become a worldwide phenomenon since its hardcover publication, taught in classrooms around the globe. Purported to be the actual blueprints by Jewish leaders to take over the world, the &lt;I&gt;Protocols&lt;/I&gt;, first published in 1902, have become gospel truth to international millions. Presenting a pageant of historical figures from nineteenth-century Russia to today's ideologues, including Tsar Nicholas II, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler, Will Eisner unravels and dispels one of the most devastating hoaxes of the twentieth century.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm continually reading comics by illustrators who have won the Eisner award, I thought it was about time I read something by Will Eisner. Eisner spent roughly 20 years (off an on) working on this graphic novel. His goal was to explain the creation of <em>The Protocols<em> to a general public.

    <body><![CDATA[As anyone who lived under the regime of George W. Bush knows, lies sometimes get people killed. The lie exposed in this fictionalized treatment of a non-fiction subject has been used to justify the killing of millions. It is an important story, and it is brilliantly told as a graphic novel by the gr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65273546">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Its a pretty good and fairly readable account of the history of the infamous anti-Semitic text &quot;The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.&quot; The cyclical nature of the constant debunking and the recycling of Protocol's claims is both fascinating and depressing. The early parts of the story that d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41515368">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Shows just what the graphic form can do in elucidating a preternaturally complicated -- and important -- history. The subject matter holds him back from the flights of imagination that make The Spirit stuff so brilliant, but this material achieves great effects in its own right.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting attempt to map a historical expose onto the graphic novel format.  Would've been more interesting if he'd focused more on the sociological dimensions of the persistence of this kind of crap.  But all-in-all, a pretty interesting take.  ]]></body>

The idea of a leading thinker like Eco writing the introduction to a non-fiction graphic novel intrigued me.
