Henry Steel Olcott (1832-1907), co-founder of the Theosophical
Society, was a versatile man. He is regarded as one of the pioneers
of American agricultural education and also served in the U.S. War
Department. Later Olcott was admitted to the New York Bar and
became interested in psychology and spiritualism, travelling to
India and Sri Lanka with Madame Blavatsky to explore eastern
spiritual traditions, especially Buddhism. In this polemical volume
(first published in 1932), Olcott describes his view of the history
of the Society between 1893 and 1896: conflicts and long-standing
tensions had led to a split in 1895, precipitated by a clash
between Olcott and William Judge, Vice-President of the Society in
America. After the split Olcott carried on travelling widely and
lecturing, having established a study centre in Chennai, India, for
the movement now known as the Theosophical Society - Adyar.
