Arnold Leese's controversial booklet on Jewish ritual murder published
after he served six months in jail for libel for anti-Semitic content in
his newspaper "The Fascist." Leese intended to use the topic of ritual
murder in his courtroom defence, but the judge prohibited it. He thus
compiled and published this booklet "in the public interest to break the
attack on Free Speech that is rapidly developing wherever any criticism
of the past or present conduct of Jews is concerned, an attack which
relies for its success upon the ridiculous charge that a breach of the
peace is likely if the truth about them is spoken!" (Introduction).
Leese explores the Jewish racial urge for human sacrifice citing
specific cases throughout history using Jewish and non-Jewish sources to
support his claims. Pages 53-54 to discuss the kidnapping and murder of
Charles Lindbergh's baby son as a probable case of Jewish ritual
murder. Singerman calls the pamphlet, "the most extensive
English-language source in support of the charge of ritual murder among
the Jews" (p. 108, 0441).
