previously unknown and unexplored connections between European, American,
and Middle Eastern movements, organizations, secret societies, and thinkers.
Subjects covered include Sufism and Islamic Gnosticism; Muslim revolutionaries and
Freemasons; Renй Guйnon, fringe Masonry, Traditionalism, and Islam; the early
history of the Shriners; the Ancient Order of Zuzimites; Charles, Prince of Wales and
Islamic spirituality; and militant anti-Freemasonry.
Praise for the First Edition:
"...a highly significant work... of extra ordinary importance in this time of cultural and even spiritual conflict." - Robert Black, New Dawn magazine.
"... an excellent reminder of the wisdom that can come studying the intersections of cultures, people, and places." - Aimee E. Newell, The Northern Light.
"Millar's... understanding of his chosen subjects is deep. I can recommend this book wholeheartedly as an example of scholarship and research in the interest of making clearer Freemasonry's tangled relationship with little-understood trends and figures in the modern world." - Jay Kinney, The Plumbline (Scottish Rite Research Society).
