Historical
Nineteenth-century Europe—from Turin to Prague to
Paris—abounds with the ghastly and the mysterious.
Conspiracies rule history. Jesuits plot against Freemasons.
Italian republicans strangle priests with their own
intestines. French criminals plan bombings by day and
celebrate Black Masses at night. Every nation has its own
secret service, perpetrating forgeries, plots, and
massacres. From the unification of Italy to the Paris
Commune to the Dreyfus Affair to The Protocols of the Elders
of Zion, Europe is in tumult and everyone needs a scapegoat.
But what if, behind all of these conspiracies both real and
imagined, lay one lone man? What if that evil genius created
its most infamous document?
