In The Warriors and the Bankers, Alan Butler and Stephen Dafoe bring their combined experiences to bear on the question asked for hundreds of years, What became of the Knights Templar? Arrested in 1307, dissolved in 1312 and executed by 1314, the Templars have been the subject of many theories concerning their possible survival.

This book examines these theories against new evidence and information. Additionally, the authors put forth, for the first time, a NEW theory that has caught the ears, eyes and attention of many readers.

The ultimate conclusion is that the Templars did survive, virtually intact and, that in a very direct sense, they may still be one of the most potent forces at work in the world at the start of the new Millennium. The Warriors and the Bankers is eminently readable and is intended for both the serious student of Templarism and the interested observer.

Important Note From the Author:

The original version of the Warriors and the Bankers has been made available by a number of rare and out of print book dealers at prices ranging between $100 and $375 US. Some are claiming that this book is now out of print, and that is true with respect to the original publication. However, the Lewis Masonic edition is the full edition of the original book published in 1998. Please do not pay ridiculous prices for a book that is still in print. - SD
