Description
This is the first comprehensive account of freemasonry in the Western World, written by two of the leading scholars in the field, readable by any adult. Masons and non-masons, college students, the curious will find accounts free of jargon, embracing every country in the Americas, with particular attention to the American experience. Attention is paid to the Scottish origins of the lodges and their growth in the American colonies. Democratic movements and the effects of European imperialism receive careful treatment. In the twentieth century the dangers posed by fascism and Nazism are vividly recounted. Attention is paid to freemasonry's decline from the 1960s onward and the future is contemplated. Leading figures are examined: Benjamin Franklin, Cagliostro, Garibaldi, Harry Truman, and many others.
