Summary

""The Great Beast," the founding father of modern occultism, has been the subject of several biographies, some painting him as a misunderstood genius, others as a manipulative charlatan. None of them have looked seriously at his career as an agent of British Intelligence." "Using documents gleaned from British, American, French and Italian archives, Secret Agent 666 reveals that Crowley played a major role in the sinking of the Lusitania, a plot to overthrow the government of Spain, the thwarting of Irish and Indian nationalist conspiracies, and the 1911 flight of Rudolf Hess."--BOOK JACKET.
