I bought this book a few days ago at a charity shop because it claimed to be "the most controversial book of the twentieth century". It's a newer edition, not the original one from the 1980s. I'm only about a quarter of the way through it and am enjoyed it much like I would a trashy novel. The research base is distinctly unimpressive, so I can't really take it very seriously as fact. And I don't really know much at all about the whole Knights Templar/Masons stuff. But I gather that a lot of people have taken it much more seriously than I am. So I am wondering if anyone here remembers its original publication. Was it really so controversial? And has anyone read it and been persuaded? Yeah, just looking for views on it, and indeed on any of the follow-ups.
