Expert Jon E. Graham, translator of the book, The Bavarian Illuminati, the Rise and Fall of the World's Most Secret Society, tells ALL about this small group founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt.  The term Illuminati dominates our conspiracy culture, but is it a conspiracy? What about the illuminati is real?   Charting the rise and fall of this infamous Order, this book, first published in French in 1915, explains the Bavarian Illuminati’s grades, rituals, and ceremonies as well as its fundamental philosophies. It also examines the leaders of the Order and includes the only surviving record of documents destroyed during the World Wars. Jon E.
