Publisher's Synopsis
Shrouded by mystery, misinformation and conspiracy, Freemasonry remains one of the least understood organizations of all time. Two common beliefs endure among all Masons. The first is that each man has a responsibility to improve himself while being devoted to his family, country, and fraternity. The second is that each man has a responsibility to help make the world a better place. These beliefs have been the basis which have enabled Masons to be catalysts for change throughout history. As Western culture and influence penetrated the far corners of the world, Freemasons were notably at the forefront, ushering in rapid change, modernization, and enlightenment. Was this merely coincidental or was it by design? You are invited to follow along and reach your own conclusion as we explore everything from the Opium Wars in China to the Meiji Restoration in Japan in "Asia's Masonic Reformation." Find out what Freemasonry is, and most importantly, what it is not.
