Summary: Strange Trip Through Religion and Politics.
Comment: THE OCCULT CONSPIRACY by Michael Howard starts off with the misunderstood revelation that occultism is not always practiced by fringe individuals but is well established in the echelons of the world's ruling elite. The sources that Howard used in compiling this book are a who's who of popular arcane researchers and conspiracy theorists among which are Nesta Webster's "Secret Societies", Clark's "Occult Roots of Nazism", the theory of Christ's bloodline--"Holy Blood, Holy Grail", and books by New Age philosopher Manly P. Hall.
The viewpoint of this book is rather vague, and is not easy to pick up right away. There is an apparent conflict between traditional religion, especially Christianity and its largest sect, Catholicism, and secret, esoteric teachings as propounded by different groups linked together through the millenia with similar beliefs and objectives: Gnosticism, Manicheanism, Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, Freemasons, the Illuminati and radical leftism in the 1800s and 1900s. These secret societies have different doctrines, but they are all opposed to traditional Christianity, especially in their endorsement of a universal religion, one world government, the "feminine principle" of God, and the abolition of traditional religious, cultural and ethnic ties. "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" is their catchphrase. The great events of the past 250 years have their roots in secret society intrigue and have adopted occult symbolism: the American Revoloution, French Revoloution, rise of the British Empire, German Nationalism, Marxism, Russian Revoloution, Nazism, formation of the UN, New Age movement, 1960's radicalism, and the rise of today's "post-Christian" society. All the tumult, it is supposed, is caused by the advent of the Age of Aquarius (supposedly to take place in 2025) which will, in the mind of occultists, usher in a humanist utopia on earth.
There are a lot of flaws with this book. The author fails to give the book any real sort of context, except for its mystical pinko-liberalism. It rather posists a "conspiracy against the vast right-wing conspiracy" and claims that the secret society members are crusaders for human freedom against the oppression of Christianity and the old world order.

Summary: a truly illuminating book
Comment: Howard presents a convincing case for occult influences in the world from ancient times to the present. He starts from Egypt and shows how both white and black occult forces have influenced politics from ancient times to the present. Howard shows that history may really be a war between the great white brotherhood;magicians who work for the light and the illuminati: black magicians who work for the forces of darkness. While David Icke presents the machinations of the illuminati, the positive work of the great white brotherhood is largely ignored. Skeptics of course would ridicule such things, but the evidence is there for anyone to see. These skeptics wonder that if the illuminati are so powerful why havent they conquered the world? If Hitler was an agent of the illuminati then why didnt he win the war? Most conspiracy theorists can't answer that because they either ignore or dont know about the influence of the great white brotherhood. The next time you see positive books on the occult and other books that tell the truth about the world and the illuminati, you can be sure the great white brotherhood is either inspiring such writers or have a direct hand in it. Howard alludes to the fact that the forces of light will eventually win this war. Let's hope its soon.

Summary: Not error-free, but these errors do not effect conclusions
Comment: A previous commentator suggested that the book was riddled with errors and somehow suggests the book's conclusions are inaccurate because of that.
Yes, Howard screws up on the year of death (1799) of George Washington, but is, in fact, correct on his birth (1732). And if no one noticed, Howard claims that the King David started the building of the first temple. This is also incorrect. It was King Solomon that built the first temple because King David had been forbidden by God to build it because of his sin of adultery.
However, though there are errors like these, it does not change the fact that there was a temple built in Jersualem about the time of King David & Solomon or that George Washington was a mason.
Though one cannot use the book as scholarly work (a reference) because of the errors, the conclusions are still pretty interesting and revealing.
