Author Richard B. Spence can be seen on various documentaries on the History Channel and is a consultant
for Washington, DC's International Spy Museum. In addition to Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British
Intelligence and the Occult, he is also the author of Trust No One: The Secret World of Sidney Reilly
(Feral House). And Wall Street And The Russian Evolution Which is his newest book.


Aleister Crowley is best known today as a founding father of modern occultism. His wide, hypnotic eyes
peer at us from the cover of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and his influence can
be found everywhere in popular culture.

Crowley, also known as the Great Beast, has been the subject of several biographies, some painting him
as a misunderstood genius, others as a manipulative charlatan. None of them have looked seriously at his
career as an agent of British Intelligence.

Using documents gleaned from British, American, French, and Italian archives, Secret Agent 666
sensationally reveals that Crowley played a major role in the sinking of the Lusitania, a plot to
overthrow the government of Spain, the thwarting of Irish and Indian nationalist conspiracies, and the
1941 flight of Rudolf Hess.

Author Richard B. Spence argues that Crowley—in his own unconventional way—was a patriotic Englishman
who endured years of public vilification in part to mask his role as a secret agent.

The verification of the Great Beast’s participation in the twentieth century’s most astounding government
plots will likely blow the minds of history buff s and occult aficionados alike.
