The book is usually described as "speculative history."{{Citation needed|date=September 2016}} SynopsisThe thesis of the book is that after the Knights Templar were suppressed for heresy at the behest of the King of France some elements found refuge in Scotland where they helped the Scots in their fight for independence from the English and the Templar Order survived through Jacobite Freemasonry to Strict Observance and the Grand Orient of France. (source: the book does claim so.) It also claims that many of the people behind the American Revolution were Freemasons, as were some of the less successful British commanders such as Howe and Cornwallis, who they claim intentionally lost (or tried the minimum to win) some of the battles to prevent the destruction of America's economic base.[1] ReleaseIt was originally published in London by Jonathan Cape in 1988. The first U.S. printing was by Arcade Publishing in New York in 1989.
