A Brief History of Secret Societies examines the significant hidden
power wielded by clandestine organisations from ancient times right
up to the present day. Throughout history, humankind's search for
knowledge has revealed strange truths. Barrett explores the
powerful attraction of esoteric religious beliefs and reveals how
such societies have gained a powerful hold on the popular
imagination. He presents an unbiased and balanced history of
humanity's desire to uncover secret knowledge, and of the societies
that seek to preserve such knowledge.
