Publisher Comments:

What is the truth about the Masons suggested in Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code? Can Freemasonry really be dated back as far as Babylon? Did they really coordinate the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution? What really goes on at a Mason lodge during an initiation? Here is the real story behind the secret society that now boasts nearly five million members (and has included such illustrious fellows as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin), as revealed by a Master Mason.

• Offers a highly illustrated field guide to Masonic jewelry and symbols

• Includes further reading, a glossary, a list of famous Freemasons and information on Freemasonry in popular culture

• Morris is a Master Mason

Superb introduction to the world's oldest fraternity. Each section builds on the previous and the format and information is easy to understand without being condescending or boring.

This is an excellent book for those individuals who've "always wanted to know everything about Freemasonry but didn't know who to ask." Well, this is the individual to ask. It is also for those individuals who will believe anything negative about Freemasonry, especially when it's written by a non-Mason. That's like me writing about geothermaldynamic propulsion (did I spell that right?). Good job Mr. Morris!
