MARTIN SHORT, renowned author of the classic book 'Inside the Brotherhood' 1989 and producer of the six-part TV documentary of the same name has written a foreword to the latest edition:
"By writing and publishing this brave, revealing book, Hugh McFarland has done a huge service to Freemasons and non-Masons alike. As I know from my own efforts to get 'Inside The Brotherhood', the biggest obstacle facing any outsider seeking to investigate Freemasonry is the lack of firsthand, personal testimonies by men who have gone through its initiation rituals. Hugh McFarland helps us penetrate the layers of concealment wrapped around the institution in which he served for so long. His insights are priceless. His courage is profound.
"This remarkable book should compel the media to end their silence over Freemasonry."
