This is Thomas Keightley's history of three secret societies of the Middle Ages: the Assassins, the Templars and the Fehmgerichte. A well-researched and detailed work on secret societies, Keightley gives a rather contemporary view, and with Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code bringing secret societies to the attention of modern audiences over recent years, this ebook is even more interesting to readers today.The Assassins chapter begins by introducing the state of the world in the Seventh Century, a brief history of Islam, and Keightley then goes on to discuss many of the influential members, as well as the organisation of the society. In the chapter on The Templars, Keightley is critical of Medieval Christianity, and the Christian thought which fueled the Crusades. Keightley presents an interesting case for the respect and bravery of the Templars and their unjust trial and subsequent dissolution. The chapter introduces the Templars, their heroism, the classes of the Templars and provinces. The shorter final chapter on The Secret Tribunals of Westphalia is perhaps the most interesting through examining this little-known group which helped to preserve order during a period of chaos in Germany in the 14th and 15th centuries.The Paranormal, the new ebook series from F&W Media International Ltd, resurrecting rare titles, classic publications and out-of-print texts, as well as new ebook titles on the supernatural - other-worldly books for the digital age.

Going Greek offers an unprecedented look at the relationship between American Jewish students and fraternity life during its heyday in the first half of the twentieth century. More than secret social clubs, fraternities and sororities profoundly shaped the lives of members long after they left college⁰́₄often dictating choices in marriage as well as business alliances. Widely viewed as a key to success, membership in these self-governing, sectarian organizations was desirable but not easily accessible, especially to non-Protestants and nonwhites. In Going Greek Marianne Sanua examines the founding of Jewish fraternities in light of such topics as antisemitism, the unique challenges faced by Jewish students on campuses across the United States, responses to World War II, and questions pertaining to assimilation and/or identity reinforcement.

Die Armee ist ein zentraler Machtfaktor im Staat, militärische Informationen sind grundsätzlich gesetzlich geschützt. Das Militär bildet zudem ein soziales System mit eigenen Normen, Ritualen und Symbolen. Die hierarchische Struktur und das starke Berufsethos prägen das Militär bis heute. Innerhalb dieses Rahmens bildeten sich immer wieder geheime Netzwerke von Militärangehörigen mit abweichenden Verhaltenskodizes. Sie erregten häufig den Verdacht, gegen das eigene Militärsystem oder den Staat gerichtet zu sein. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes erkunden die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Geheimbundorganisationen, Geheimnisträgern, Verschwörern und dem Militär - von Freimaurern und Illuminaten bis zum Stauffenberg-Kreis.
