The Brotherhood

The Freemasons have long fascinated outsiders. The subject of Dan Brown''s new novel - set for release in 2007 - this secret and exclusive society, thought to be the largest in Britain today, remains a mystery to the many excluded from its ranks. One would never know if a father or brother was a member due to the mandatory vow of secrecy. In this classic, controversial expose, Stephen Knight talks to the men on the inside - those who have broken their vow of secrecy to reveal the darker side of the ''brotherhood''. Do they influence the law? Is the KGB involved? And is there is a secret group of Masons running the country today, perhaps influencing every move we make? Fully updated with a new introduction by Martin Short, acclaimed author of ''Inside the Brotherhood'', this is the unmissable, true story of an ancient, and mysterious brotherhood operating in our midst.
