HISTORY / SECRET SOCIETIES"With the multitude of books and websites
published on secret societies, it is refreshing to find one so
balanced and well documented. Michael Howard's chronology of the
influence of the occult tradition and secret societies on world
history is alone worth the price of the book. Highly
recommended."--Robert R. Hieronimus, Ph.D., author of Founding
Fathers, Secret Societies: Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians and
the Decoding of the Great SealFor thousands of years secret
societies--guardians of ancient esoteric wisdom--have exercised a
strong and often crucial influence on the destiny of nations.
Though largely ignored by orthodox historians, the Freemasons,
Knights Templar, and Rosicrucians influenced the course of the
French and American Revolutions as well as the overthrow of the
medieval feudal order. Inevitably, the true ideals and esoteric
practices of these societies have, at times, been perverted by
self-serving individuals. The Nazis and the Bolsheviks, British
security forces, the founding fathers of America, and the Vatican
have all justified their actions--for good or for ill--by adopting
the mystic ideals of secret societies.Michael Howard explores these
connections, tracing their effects in politics and statecraft from
the time of ancient Egypt to the present. He sheds light on the
influence of secret societies on governments and in the lives of
many well-known figures, including Frederick the Great, John Dee,
Francis Bacon, Benjamin Franklin, Comte de Cagliostro, Helena
Blavatsky, Rasputin, and Woodrow Wilson. He contends that the
recent formation of the European Union was directed by an umbrella
group of secret societies and reveals thatthough secret societies
have been persecuted throughout history, they have survived and
continue to operate powerfully in world affairs today.MICHAEL
HOWARD has studied secret societies since 1964 and is an expert on
Anglo-Saxon runes. He is the author of more than twenty books,
including Traditional Folk Remedies and The Wisdom of the Runes. He
lives in Devon, England.
