The Fascists and the Freemasons

The European dictators of the 20th century were strong, powerful, confident, holders of absolute truth. They seemed invincible, until the very moment they fell. In the darkest time of modern history, they held millions of people in their grip, ruling their fate for better and for worse. But as frightening as they were, they also were terrified, haunted by an obsession that followed them to the grave: the Masonic conspiracy. Every dictator thinks Freemasons are the masterminds of a conspiracy against the nation and its leader. For each dictator, there is a different justification for banning the lodges.
