What secrets connect Egypt's Great Pyramids, the Freemasons and the Council on Foreign Relations? In this astonishing book, celebrated journalist Jim Marrs examines the world's most closely guarded secrets, tracing the history of clandestine societies and the power they have wielded - from the ancient mysteries to modern-day conspiracy theories. Searching for truth, he uncovers disturbing evidence that the real movers and shakers of the world collude covertly to start and stop wars, manipulate stock markets, maintain class distinctions and even censor the news. Provocative and utterly compelling, Rule by Secrecy offers a singular worldview that may explain who we are, where we came from and where we are going.

Makes you wonder...
This book is incredible. Anyone can fire off accusations of corruption to governments, but Marrs has researched this incredibly thoroughly. I know that sounds incredibly patronising but that's how I see it.

The final chapter details the theory of the 12th planet returning to our solar system, which is explored in his earlier book "Alien Agenda". If you're into conspiracy theories and not afraid to open your mind up to the shocking truth then you should check both of these books out. You'll never be the same again.

The world is governed by many different personages.
Pure genius. This book is both interested me from start to finish, but it has also opened my mind to other things that are going on behind the scenes. The history of the Knights Templar, The priory of Sion, and the CFR are all looked at, some in more depth than others. This book is really worth reading, even if it’s just to find out how incestuous the ruling classes and leaders of the old world, and the new world were and are.

Gripping...
One I started this book, I just couldn't put it down! It details everything for anyone wanting to delve into the world of secret societies and conspiracies, from the kennedy assassination to the crusades. I was thoroughly entertained all the way through, so why did I give this only 4 stars?

Because the last chapter is just plain silly. It details the creation of mankind based on Sumerian myths and legends, and the author presents this as if it happened. This is just one example of how the author only presents one side of the story, and doesn't ever seem to even begin to think or even consider that perhaps some of this might not be true, or that some of the people he quotes might be a bit barmey (David Ike!).

I recommend buying this book, simply because it is so fascinating.
