Review by Booklist Review

A guide to some 200 organizations, Redfern's text intrigues the curious and outright paranoid with hints of conspiracies as historic as the KKK and Jack the Ripper and as obscure as the Primrose League and the Wackenhut Corporation. For student research, the inclusion of Mithraism, Wicca, Thuggees, Knights Templar, John Birch Society, and the Green Man will fulfill class-assignment requirements. By juxtaposing Halloween with Hamatsa, serpents with shape-shifting, and Minutemen with the Ministry of the Chalcedon Foundation, the text lures the curious to dip further into mystic cults. A book sure to appeal to puzzle-loving readers.--Snodgrass, Mary Ellen Copyright 2010 Booklist
