" The Craft is a superb book that often reads like an adventure novel. It's informative, fascinating and often very funny."-- The Times (UK), PRAISE FOR COSA NOSTRA "Riveting" --- SundayTelegraph "The inspiration offar too much pulpy entertainment, the Italian mobsters under John Dickie'smiscroscope in Cosa Nostra have long cultivated outsiders' tendencies toromanticize their supposed honor and loyalty. But Dickie demonstratesdefinitively that the centuries-old mafia has never been more than an illegalbusiness and shadow state pursuing 'power and money by cultivating the art ofkilling people.'" --- Washington Post "Absorbing . . . He succeeds in being both opinionated andprecise and has performed a necessary work of rebranding." --- Financial Times "His is the firsttruly definitive English-language study of this myth-laden subject, and it is apleasure to read...his book is notable for shrewd judgments couched in languagethat is vibrantly memorable. His acquaintance with the island and his immersionin the wider modern Italian culture also allow him to convey the noxiousatmosphere of corruption with flair." ---Christopher Sylvester, Sunday Times (London) "A serious contribution to modern Italian history . . . itcan be safely predicted that Dickie's book will be a sensation, not leastbecause it has a dozen potential movies in it." ---Clive James, Times Literary Supplement "I couldn't put it down. His archival sleuthing is yoked tohis powerful, often coruscating storytelling to create a chilling account ofthe mafia's sinister, horrific reality." ---John Guy, Sunday Times (London), " The Craf t is a shadow history of modernity. Though more sober than most lodge meetings, it is, like its subject, ingenious and frequently bizarre... The Craft is well-crafted and sensible, making good use of English archives which have only recently been opened."-- Spectator, " The Craf t is a shadow history of modernity. Though more sober than most lodge meetings, it is, like its subject, ingenious and frequently bizarre... The Craft is well-crafted and sensible, making good use of English archives which have only recently been opened." -- Spectator, "[John Dickie] takes on this sensational subject with a wry turn of phrase and the cool judgment of a fine historian... I enjoyed this book enormously. Dickie's gaze is both wide and penetrating. He makes a persuasive case for masonry's historic importance."-- Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times, "At last! A book about Freemasonry that is scholarly and balanced."-- Robert L D Cooper (Curator Emeritus of the Grand Lodge of Scotland) and Mark A. Tabbert, (33rd degree), The Masonic Authors' Guild International

Synopsis
Discover the "convincingly researched and thoroughly entertaining" ( The Wall Street Journal ) history of the world's oldest and most influential fraternity Founded in London in 1717 as a way of binding men in fellowship, Freemasonry proved so addictive that within two decades it had spread across the globe. Masonic influence became pervasive. Under George Washington, the Craft became a creed for the new American nation. Masonic networks held the British empire together. Under Napoleon, the Craft became a tool of authoritarianism and then a cover for revolutionary conspiracy. Both the Mormon Church and the Sicilian mafia owe their origins to Freemasonry. Yet the Masons were as feared as they were influential. In the eyes of the Catholic Church, Freemasonry has always been a den of devil-worshippers. For Hitler, Mussolini and Franco, the Lodges spread the diseases of pacifism, socialism and Jewish influence, so had to be crushed. Freemasonry's story yokes together Winston Churchill and Walt Disney; Wolfgang Mozart and Shaquille O'Neal; Benjamin Franklin and Buzz Aldrin; Rudyard Kipling and 'Buffalo Bill' Cody; Duke Ellington and the Duke of Wellington. John Dickie's The Craft is an enthralling exploration of a the world's most famous and misunderstood secret brotherhood, a movement that not only helped to forge modern society, but has substantial contemporary influence, with 400,000 members in Britain, over a million in the USA, and around six million across the world., A global history of the world's most famous secret society, encompassing kings and presidents, writers and legislators, composers and entertainers, generals and entrepreneurs. During the Scottish Reformation, when kings, princes, and popes were being toppled from their thrones, a new and secretive society was formed. The Freemasonry's fixed rules, suggesting a connection to an ancient wisdom and known only to its initiates, attracted many antagonists, including the Roman Catholic Church, but also attracted a diverse range of members, from tradesman, merchants, actors, lawyers, Jews, and even people of color. The Craft is a vibrant, revelatory history of the Freemasons, their core ideas, and its members, including revolutionaries (Giuseppe Garibaldi, Sim n Bol var, Motilal Nehru, and George Washington), rulers (five of England and no fewer than fourteen U.S. Presidents), and luminaries (Arthur Conan Doyle, Goethe, Mozart, Shaquille O'Neal, Harry Houdini, Henry Ford, Buzz Aldrin, and Walt Disney; the Duke of Wellington, Duke Ellington, and more). John Dickie captures the mystique of Masonic secrecy, and shows why its history is too important and too compelling to be the exclusive property of the initiated as Freemasonry has had a role in shaping the world for all of us.
