Excellent
An excellent, well researched and well argued book pointing to the Knights Templar as the source of Freemasonry. Speculations are labelled as such, and points are well made without stretching credulity. The only drawback, but rather an inevitable one for a popular book, is the lack of footnotes and references.

I highly recommend this book.

great book makes history come alive
this book is well researched & objective. description of english peasant revolt & knights templar history is told in a novelistic way. however book avoids occultist point of view nevertheless it is a must book to read for anyone interested in masonic history and its historical significance in british history.

Interesting but ultimately flawed
Mr Robinson starts by trying to build a level base grounded in Historical fact, however the in depth, matter of fact reporting of the peasants revolt and the subsequent 'history' of Scotland and England ultimately gives way to the same speculation as can be found in the worls of his contempories. This book like all the similar attempts to find a tangible link from the Temple to Lodge suffers from a lack of any 'real' indisputable evidence. All the proposals and conjecture have merit to greater or lesser extent but nothing totally convinces. A book which I think will find most favour with our American friends who seem to need a historical link for their Masonry far more than that required by the British Mason. Perhaps if all the books such as this were edited together we could truly peice together a genuine path for Masonry through the ages. Interesting but ultimately flawed.
