Secret Agent 666, Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult.
Venice, CA: Feral House, 2008. First Edition. Softcover. Octavo. vi + 380pp. Illustrated wrappers, bibliography, index and b&w photograph insert at center. A fascinating investigation of Crowley and his connections with British intelligence services in both World Wars. Written largely from previously un-accessed source archives and source materials, the author describes Crowley's connection with events as disparate as the sinking of the Lusitania, the disruption of Indian nationalist plots, and the flight to Britain of Nazi leader Rudolph Hess. Much remains speculative, and there is little in the way of concrete evidence, but it is an interesting thesis nonetheless. Light rubbing to covers and edges, else a tight, clean VG+ copy. Item #63525
