Professor John Dickie's book is sub-titled 'How the Freemasons made the Modern World'... which should catch the attention of Freemasons of the world - the modern world, that is. Setting aside the obvious hype, MAGI reviews this book in its usual unemotional style. Our review covers the book's main themes and its approach to the history of Freemasonry, and highlights some of more unusual aspects of the history of Freemasonry. Hint: Dickie specializes in Italian history, including (inevitably) the Mafia. Is the book worth reading? Yes. To find out exactly why, check out this episode!
