The story behind America's most exclusive brotherhood
For 170 years they have met in secret.
From out of their initiates come presidents, senators, judges, cabinet
secretaries, and plenty of spooks. They are the titans of finance and
industry and have now installed a third member as United States
President George W. Bush. This intriguing behind-the-scenes look
documents Yale's secretive society, the Order of the Skull and Bones,
and its prominent members, numbering among them Tafts, Rockefellers,
Pillsburys, and Bushes. Far from being a campus fraternity, the society
is more concerned with the success of its members in the post-collegiate
world.
Included are a verified membership list, rare reprints of
original Order materials revealing the interlocking power centers
dominated by Bonesmen, and a peek inside the Tomb, their 140-year-old
private clubhouse.
