ABSTRACT
The story of the arrival of The Protocols in America begins with Harris Ayres Houghton (1874-1946), a doctor who had given up medicine to work instead for American military intelligence. There, he had become obsessed with the idea of a Jewish threat to America’s war effort. In 1918 his assistant, a young woman called Natalie de Bogory, whose parents had been White Russians, gave him as a present a rare book, the 1917 Russian edition of The Great within the Small and Antichrist by Sergei Nilus, which contained The Protocols. She had obtained the book from a fellow White Russian, Boris Brasol.
