Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A provocative look at the secret society that has controlled St. Louis for over a century, revealing how shadowy elites organize themselves against working-class power. Every December in downtown St. Louis, the citys upper crust attend a garish costume party that doubles as a debutantes ball. Th…e daughters of high society are paraded to the throne of a cloaked monarchical figure, and bow to the Veiled Prophet of Khorassan. At first glance, the event seems outdated and clownish, but in truth the Veiled Prophet Society has functioned as an exclusive club for the city fathers, where solidarity is built between wealthy men who head major U.S. corporations, banks, and control whole industries. At the Veiled Prophets Ball, these titans of capital come together to crown one of their daughters the Queen of Love and Beauty, and celebrate the breaking of strikes, the sabotage of protests, and the enforcement of racial hierarchies. examines the unexpected ways this secret society has shaped the course of history, from the CIA to the Vietnam War to the assassination of Martin Luther King.Yet the power wielded by the Veiled Prophet has not gone uncontested. Since the Gilded Age, the Prophet has faced resistance from orphans armed with pea-shooters, Communist Party organizers during the Depression, Civil Rights icons, and renegade debutantes. The Ferguson uprising of 2014 was only the most recent challenge to the Prophets influence.As the fight for the soul and streets of St. Louis intensifies, its more critical than ever that we expose the sordid history of these powerful, masked figures and their control over our democracy.

Jacket is now protected by mylar jacket cover. Signed by the author in thin black felt-tipped pen on the title at an angle above the title; below his signature, in thin black felt pen he has added the the date ("7/7/26") and the location ("St. Louis"), all done in my presence on July 7, 2026 at Saint Louis Ethical Society on Clayton Road. It was a very engaging and informative program held no punches and named names, of people and institutions (sadly,WU was involved) that were active in this openly nativistic, anti-labor and racist organization. And he also spent time praising the activities of ACTION and Percy Green, who at 91 was able to attend this event. It was one of the best—informative, enlightening, and relevant—author events that I have ever attended—and it was attended by about 250 attentive readers. Signed by Author(s).
