German, John Dickie., 2020Free shipping starting at 50.–
The true story behind the myth. Historian and mafia expert John Dickie provides the first comprehensive and serious history of the Freemasons – the secret society that has significantly influenced the course of the West since its founding in the 18th century. Figures like Mozart, Goethe, and Frederick the Great were members. So were George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill. Along with Louis Armstrong, Walt Disney, and perhaps even Brad Pitt. They are all united by the arguably most powerful and mysterious secret society in the world, the Freemason lodge. From the square and compass in the cornerstone of the Capitol to the pyramid on the American dollar bill – the symbols of the Freemasons have become part of the Western iconography of power. But how far does their power really extend? Did the Freemasons trigger the French Revolution? Are they behind the serial murders of Jack the Ripper? Or is their grasp for world domination imminent? Historian Dickie debunks myths while also highlighting: from the emerging European nation-states and the American Declaration of Independence to the slave trade, imperialism, and the women's issue, the Freemasons have played a key role in the core debates of Western society. John Dickie uncovers the fundamental paradox of how a secretive and exclusive men's club has significantly contributed to the spread of Western values of freedom, equality, brotherhood, tolerance, and humanity. John Dickie is a historian at University College London and a mafia expert. After a radio interview in which he referred to the mafia as "Freemasons for criminals," he was invited to a conversation at the Freemason lodge. This marked the beginning of a long journey tracing the Freemasons – from Washington to New York, Rome, Naples, Vienna, and Paris. John Dickie, who is not a Freemason himself, explains this most mysterious of all secret societies to us.
