The Secret History of the West: The Influence of Secret Organizations on Western History from the Renaissance to the 20th Century

by Nicholas Hagger

Western civilization as we know it today is not the end result of steady progress, but of series of revolutions. The radical departure from orthodox history that Nicholas Hagger takes is to show how all these-the Protestant Revolution, which in turn provided the idealogical foundations of the English, American, French and Russian-have their roots in ideas and influences that have hitherto been unexpressed, secret.

[Peter OConnor · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is astounding ! It’s history as it was played out not written or dictated ! I found the piece on the Glorious Revolution eye opening ! It tells the real story of The takeover of England and by whom ! The selling out of William and the beginning of fractional banking ! Though as my wife always says “I don’t care about that shit “ No indeed !

There's so many details stuffed into this book but I especially appreciate the info on who started revolutions through the centuries and why, and what societies they were associated with.

Delving beneath official versions, early American history of our Masonic forefathers is covered in this book more fully than the usual version of our nation's history.
