Description
Aleister Crowley, the enigmatic figure known for his influence on modern occultism, played a pivotal role in a series of high-stakes government plots during the 20th century. This book reveals, for the first time, Crowley's involvement in the sinking of the Lusitania, a plot to overthrow the government of Spain, and the thwarting of Irish and Indian nationalist conspiracies, among other events. Crowley's career as a secret agent of British Intelligence has been largely overlooked, but author Richard B. Spence sheds new light on this fascinating chapter of history. Using documents from British, American, French, and Italian archives, Spence argues that Crowley was a patriotic Englishman who endured years of public vilification to conceal his true role. This book is a sensational and intriguing exploration of Crowley's life and work, one that will likely surprise and captivate history buffs and occult enthusiasts alike. With its unique blend of history, espionage, and the occult, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of politics, power, and mysticism.
