Book Description

June 2007
With his recent best-selling books and hundreds of articles, as well as radio and TV appearances, Philip Gardiner has started a crusade for uncovering the truth, and nothing could be more indicative of that search than his latest foray into the dark and often sinister world of secret societies.

Yet again, in Secret Societies, Gardiner finds himself on a journey across the world to uncover the ancient secrets of the world's most powerful men. In one dramatic episode he finds himself driven out of Berlin in a black Mercedes by a secret organization that was believed to have disappeared after the second World War and eventually arrives in a modern Nazi watering hole. Gardiner, however, survives this incredible journey and brings us the secrets of the Order held sacred for so long.

Gardiner delves into a world that is often hidden from our eyes and finds himself in situations that seem to mirror the fictional world of the Da Vinci Code.

In Secret Societies, Gardiner:
-Gets to the core of the secret societies' belief systems.
-Explores the secret origins of Freemasonry and the links to secret Serpent Cults.
-Investigates the secret hidden meaning of King Arthur and Robin Hood. -Examines the claimants to the name of Illuminati, and analyzes the history of the group in Europe and America.
-Reveals the secret links within the Vatican and the Nazi Party.
-Looks in-depth at the white-powdered gold theory supposedly kept secret by orders throughout time and radically re-appraises it.
-Shows the link between the so-called enlightenment experience and the control of our minds.

Nobody in the genre involves themselves in the tale in the same way that Gardiner does, and here he shows that the search for ultimate truth can often be a terrifying one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fiction posing as non-fiction, June 30, 2007
This review is from: Secret Societies: Gardiner's Forbidden Knowledge: Revelations about the Freemasons, Templars, Illuminati, Nazis, and the Serpent Cults (Paperback)
Gardiner could be a journalist. He has the singular ability to twist facts and build on them to create something which is barely credible. he is a master story teller and plays on people's willingness to believe the inconceivable. As a work of fiction this work is entertaining but to title it as a work of non-fiction is to remove the distinctions between reality and fantasy: and Gardiner's work is a work of fantasy where he gives full vent to his vivid imagination.

2.0 out of 5 stars Like a car crash, you can't stop looking!, September 4, 2009
This review is from: Secret Societies: Gardiner's Forbidden Knowledge: Revelations about the Freemasons, Templars, Illuminati, Nazis, and the Serpent Cults (Paperback)
To borrow a phrase from Gardiner himself, it is "absolute rubbish." I only kept reading due to pure incredulity. Enough said.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking, June 23, 2007
This review is from: Secret Societies: Gardiner's Forbidden Knowledge: Revelations about the Freemasons, Templars, Illuminati, Nazis, and the Serpent Cults (Paperback)
Although not a society by society look on the subject, Gardiner instead goes for the jugular and decides to ask why people join and what the motives are. This is a balanced book, well written and very thought provoking. It will not be liked by Christians (or Catholics sir) because it shows them up in many ways. I recommend this book to you whether you are on the first run of the ladder with ancient mysteries or indeed know your stuff - there's something for everyone. Not least of which is Gardiner's own foray into the dark and sinister world of the Holy Vehm.
