Synopses & Reviews
Ask most Americans where the country's origins lie and they'll point to the Mayflower and its settlers--whom we often think of as the earliest arrivals to our shores. But something existed even before that: Jamestown. Its founders had thoroughly different values than the Puritans, and their Masonic beliefs indelibly shaped America's future. This authoritative, accessible, and absorbing history takes a fresh look at the past to reveal the truth about why the United States is now run by Freemasons who are Christians, too. Drawing on original findings, and exhibiting a rich, in-depth understanding of the political and philosophical realities of the time, acclaimed author Nicholas Hagger argues that the new nation, conceived in liberty, was the Freemasons' first step towards a new world order. He charts the connections between secret societies and libertarian ideals, explains how the influence of German Illuminati worked on the framers of the new republic, and shows the hand of Freemasonry at work at every turning point in America's history--from the Civil War to the Cold War to today's global struggles for democracy. It's a fascinating subject, and one that will also be at the center of Dan Brown's next book--so interest is sure to be high and the tie-in potential immense.
