The Craft: How the Freemasons Made the Modern World

I just finished The Craft by John Dickie. This has been one of the most enjoyable Masonic books I have read recently. I cannot recommend it enough. Dickie takes a very informative deep dive into Masonic history, warts and all, in several of the areas around the world where Freemasons have had a major impact. The British isles, The Americas, France, Germany, and Italy to name a few. I may need to read it again take notes this time.

I recently finished the audio book version. It was just over 16.5 hrs long and was narrated by Simon Slater, who did a very good job.
Like you brothers, I found the book very informative. The author is not a member and does a very good job on showing the good and the bad in our history. I especially found his treatment of the craft's origins very informative.
Sometimes when you take in the audio version of a book you miss out on things like graphs or other illustrations. It doesn't appear that happened with this book.
Highly recommend the audio version.
