Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the emergence of a secret society from its earliest beginnings through to the twentieth century, using letters, diaries, newspaper accounts, and other documentation. The book argues that this secret society has played a crucial role in global affairs over the last four centuries, going back to the Templars in the Middle Ages, and has directed significant people within the society to take actions to enact their plans. The author posits that the society persisted in secrecy due to its desire for global control and the orchestration of events that would assure that outcome, while at the same time concealing its machinations from the public.
