The lie The Times nearly killed (Pt 1): The Protocols of the Elders of Zion

A hundred years ago last month, The Times published a series of articles proving the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a conspiracy theory that Jews were looking to control world governments, were a forgery. David Aaronovitch traces the story through The Times archive.

In part one, David looks at how the newspaper first covered the story of the Protocols and how one of our correspondents stumbled upon proof of the forgery.
