Skull & Bones
By Nick Razer
Behind the windowless walls of Yale's infamous Tomb lies the most secretive society in America: Skull & Bones, the Order of 322. For nearly two centuries, this shadowy fraternity has fascinated and unsettled the world with its strange rituals, whispered conspiracies, and outsized influence.
Founded in 1832, Skull & Bones has initiated only fifteen members a year. Yet from this tiny brotherhood have emerged U.S. Presidents, senators, CIA directors, Supreme Court justices, Wall Street titans, and media moguls. The names are legendary: William Howard Taft, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, John Kerry, Henry Luce, and countless others who shaped America from boardrooms to war rooms.
But what really happens behind the locked doors of the Tomb? Are the rituals mere theatrics—or tools of control? Did members steal the skull of Geronimo, as rumors insist? Why has the number 322 remained unexplained for generations? And what does it mean when both candidates in a presidential election—Bush and Kerry—refuse to say more than, "It's so secret, we can't talk about it"?
In Skull & Bones, Nick Razer pulls back the curtain on America's most infamous fraternity. With meticulous research and riveting storytelling, he explores:
Part history, part investigation, and part cultural meditation, this book reveals why Skull & Bones endures not only as a fraternity, but as a symbol of secrecy itself. Its power may lie less in what it does than in what we believe it can do.
If you've ever wondered how a society of fifteen students a year could echo across centuries of history, this book will take you inside the mystery—where fact and legend blur, and where secrecy itself becomes power.
