Joel Levy
History is riddled with mysteries surrounding secret societies. Nearly all civilizations have at some point been the home to these shadowy groups. Meeting behind closed doors and saying nothing of what goes on inside, suspicion shrouds their every move. Should we be afraid of the Freemasons? How powerful were the Illuminati? When people say that world affairs are shaped by these subversive organizations, should we really believe them?, From college fraternities like the Skull and Bones, to religious movements like the Templars, Joel Levy examines 50 of the most infamous secret societies from throughout history. Balancing the historical claims with more skeptical viewpoints, here is all the evidence you need to decide for yourself exactly how suspicious you should be.
