Books on Secret Societies

I was wondering if anyone knows a couple of good (I repeat, GOOD) books on secret socities. I've heard about the Illuminatus trilogy, so anything other than those, hehe. I stumbled across a book called Secret Societies of America's Elite: From the Knights Templar to Skull and Bones and it looks like it could be interesting.

Anyone know of any other books, or if these titles are good?
America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones
New World Order: The Ancient Plan of Secret Societies
A History of Secret Societies

I'm looking for a couple of new books to read, and I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks =)

*bump* Sorry but I really want people's input on this. I'm looking to buy some books, and I don't want to waste my money. I trust you guys here on ATS/BTS to be knowlegable and know what you're talking about =)

The best book on a secret society is "America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull and Bones"

As for the Illuminati I recomend "The Iluminati Manifesto.

Hey cool, I had found that one about the Skull and Bones already, I should go pick it up =) Thanks

Anything by Hutton is reccommended.

Its a very good read, hope you enjoy it.

I'll see if I can remember any others I've read. Read so many books, its hard to keep track.

Rule by Secrecy by Marrs deals with Secret Socieites, as well.

Still thinking.. .

Ah, right.

None Dare Call it Conspiracy by Gary Allen deals with them.

One book that is a MUST read is

Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time

By Carroll Quigley

It's a long read, about 1300 pages, and somewhat hard to find, at least the full edition.

Check it out.

Hey, thanks for all the replies guys. I'll definitely look into these books =)

So, any luck finding them, Faisca?

The Skull and BOnes book is very good, as far as secret societies, the book INside the Brotherhood by Martin Short is very good as well.

Secret Societies and Subversive Movements by Nesta Webster

Argues the case for suspecting a directing influence behind most secret groups.
