The Cause of World Unrest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cause of World Unrest is a controversial book, similar, and antecedent to, The International Jew, and the subsequent compilation from Henry Ford's newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, bearing the same lead title.

The lead compiler of this notoriously antisemitic book, and the author of the introduction, was Howell Arthur Gwynne, the main editor of London Morning Post. The main inspiration for this book was the prior publication, the same year, in 1920, of The Jewish Peril, the main, or leading title for the Protocols of Zion, which had just been published, by private commission, by the King's printer, Eyre & Spottiswoode Ltd.

The text had subsequently also been published, in the United States, the same year, 1920, and under the same title, but by a different, an American publisher.
