Book description

In Terrorism and the Illuminati, David Livingstone proposes a long historical connection between occult traditions, secret societies, imperial politics, and contemporary terrorism. Moving from the ancient Near East through medieval and modern history, he interprets religious and political organizations as parts of an enduring network of hidden influence. The book gives particular attention to militant movements, the history of Islam, and arguments about a proposed confrontation between Western and Muslim societies. Livingstone's narrative relies on speculative connections and conspiracy claims, including explanations of terrorism that are not established by mainstream historical research. First published in 2007, the work is representative of an alternative historical genre that links contemporary geopolitics with esotericism and theories of concealed power.
