Book Overview

The Genius of Freemasonry and the Twentieth Century Crusade is a book written by J.D. Buck that explores the history and philosophy of Freemasonry. The book delves into the origins of the organization, its symbolism and rituals, and its role in shaping the Western world. Buck argues that Freemasonry is a vehicle for spiritual and intellectual development, and that its teachings are more relevant than ever in the modern era. He also discusses the role of Freemasonry in the social and political movements of the 20th century, including its influence on the civil rights movement and the struggle against totalitarianism. The book offers a comprehensive and insightful look at Freemasonry, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the organization's history and philosophy.Dedication: �������for the Good of Masonry������� in the interest of freedom and fraternity, Light, Liberty and Love, against�������Ignorance, Superstition and fear, Clericalism, Despotism, and Jesuitism. �������This little book has been written in answer to the oft-repeated question�������'Has any brother anything to offer for the good of Masonry?'
