Good answer, OldFriend! I'm laughing so hard I can't really articulate an answer. Skull and Bones is a college fraternity that is very secretive and many conspiracy theories have been bandied about for years. Chief among those conspiracies is that the Club is so powerful they decide the future leaders of America and is the dark heart of a secret world government. This book very adequately debunks all of the old conspiracy theories surrounding this Club.

Carefull about the fraternity part. They are a secret society or club or group or whatever, but they are not a frat. George W. Bush was a member, but he was also in a fraternity called DKE, his father was in a fraternity, I'm not sure if its the same one. Ronald Reagan was in TKE. Several U.S. presidents were in skull and bones, but personally, I don't think thats a big deal. When your dealing with an elite college, and elite students, and then an elite group, it shouldn't be a surprise when the members succeed.

The question I have is if the book was written in time to smooth the way for Kerry by changing the old impression of this being a sinister organization.
