Mozart, Bach, Oscar Wilde, and George Washington all called themselves Freemasons. But were they members of a benign brotherhood or part of a secret society bent on world domination? While not a mason himself, author Ridley offers a persuasive defense of Freemasonry against some of the more outrageous charges leveled against it. He dispels many of the myths (such as the old myth about all but one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence being a Freemason), explains the origins of many of the order’s arcane rituals, and provides an evenhanded assessment of the contributions that Freemasons have made to history. This is an enlightening look at one of the world’s most misunderstood organizations. 357 pp.
