 **A Specter Haunting Europe: The Myth of Judeo-Bolshevism**

 For much of the twentieth century, Europe was haunted by a threat of its own imagining: Judeo-Bolshevism. This myth—that Communism was a Jewish plot to destroy the nations of Europe—was a paranoid fantasy. And yet fears of a Jewish Bolshevik conspiracy took hold during the Russian Revolution and spread across the continent. In *A Specter Haunting Europe*, Paul Hanebrink asks why the myth of Judeo-Bolshevism endured for so long in so many places and what legacy this idea has left for the contemporary far right on both sides of the Atlantic.
