Description

First time in paperback!
The must-read bestseller that explores the truth behind the hushed mysteries of history's notorious secret societies. From the Skull and Bones to the Casa Nostra to the mysterious Druids, bestselling author John Lawrence Reynolds takes the reader on a guided tour of history's most infamous secret societies. Explores the unique characters, events, and influences of the best known, and often least understood, secret societies. He offers stunning new revelations about their origins, their creators, and their activities.
Secret societies have flourished throughout history, capturing the public's imagination and generating fear, suspicion, and above all fascination. The popularity of novels like The Da Vinci Code and The Rule of Four are a testament to our fascination with them.
Reynolds treats the reader to a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes look at the origins and history, rituals and initiations, artifacts and secret signs, and languages and famous members of the most notorious secret societies of all time.
