Jean-Louis de Biasi, a 32nd degree Freemason who's been involved in the order for over twenty years, gives readers a rare candid look at the little-known facts and essential aspects of Freemasonry. De Biasi reveals the Masonic tradition's history, the Scottish Rite's degree-based system, and the order's closely held beliefs.
