Napoleon’s Sorcerers

by Darius A Spieth

This is a quirky book. I was surprised at how much material Spieth had managed to dig up about a very obscure subject, a secret society called The Sacred Order of Sophisians, which had connections to Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign as well as the world of the boulevard theatres. And in a time where censorship was still going strong it became a safe place for them to talk about what had happened in Egypt.
