Freemasonry is part of a long tradition of Western mysticism, steeped in an enduring and eclectic mixture of historical fact and legend. Much of the ritual and symbolism prevalent in Freemasonry has developed over many centuries and relies heavily on notions inherited from the customs and practices of medieval stonemasons. In this absorbing book, the history and legends of the Freemasons – from links with the Knights Templar, their explorations into alchemy and the hermetic tradition, through the age of Enlightenment and the founding fathers of the USA, to the Victorians and up to the present day – are discussed alongside the mystical symbolism of the Square and the Compass, the Five-pointed Star, the All-seeing Eye, and the Sun and the Moon. Illustrated throughout, this intriguing account will appeal to anyone interested in this ‘secret’ Brotherhood.

Trots att det gått över 75 år sedan andra världskrigets slut återstår fortfarande mängder av outredda mysterier. I den här boken går författaren igenom några av dessa hemligheter och redogör för vad den senaste forskningen kommit fram till. I några fall får tidigare mysterier slutligen sin förklaring, i andra ges intressanta ledtrådar till vad som kan ha hänt. Vad hände exempelvis med den svenska spionen Jane Horney i Stockholm? Var hon dubbelagent och vem mördade henne? Hur nära var det att nazisterna utvecklade egna kärnvapen och stämmer det att de hade planer på att bomba New York? Boken är fylld av fascinerande händelser.
