In the turmoil of 1930s America, Mankind United emerged, promising salvation from global injustice and hardship. Founded by Arthur Bell, this enigmatic movement painted a world gripped by the covert powers of 'Hidden Rulers' and 'Money Changers,' whom Bell blamed for war, poverty, and suffering.
Mankind United promoted a revolutionary counterforce: the 'Sponsors,' who would soon unveil a new order based on equality, minimal work hours, universal employment, and a unique financial system. Driven by the mission of the 'Pacific Coast Division of North America, International Registration Bureau,' Bell's followers believed that achieving their utopian vision depended on garnering mass support.
Set within the unique context of a burgeoning religious fervor in 20th-century California, this book captures the ideals, promises, and eventual demise of one of history's most peculiar cults-a profound exploration of society's yearning for transformation.
