Recommended Reading
A few of the books in the Grand Prior of Ireland's Library of over 3500 books. Though most are Non-Fiction, what fun is reading if there are not a few Fiction books involved to stimulate the imagination. Just remember to be able to separate Fact from Fiction when disusing the subject of the Order. (Smile)

"This is the most thorough and revealing research on the Templars that I have read in twenty years. There are dozens of "Templar" books, most of which are based on supposition or outright fabrication, but Dan Clausen has conducted meticulously accurate research that shatters many of the myths and supports the inescapable conclusion that in some form the Order of the Temple has continued from 1314 to today. This is a "must read" for anyone interested in the history of the famous Knights Templar Order."

A highly recommended read for the researcher of the Templar Knights Order. Many people continue to search for the truth and the accurate link from 1314 to the modern day. This book fills in the blanks that many seek and does not rehash the known history or legends or just come up with far fetched conclusions that so many fantasize about. This is good documented history put into its proper context with the outcome and direct link to the modern Grand Master Professor, General Ronald S. Mangum U.S. Army Ret.

"This book investigates the claims of the French Ordre du Temple and its related modern continuation narratives. Although today the Ordre du Temple is largely remembered as an invention of Bernard Raymond Fabre-Palaprat, the Grand Master that revealed the Larmenius Charter to the public, there is serious evidence that the Charter pre-dates Bernard Raymond, and beyond that, may be a genuine document of Templar transmission. If so, it serves as a ground to chart Templar continuation throughout history.
Guiding a course through the hidden histories after the suppression of the Templars, to the origins of Masonic Templarism and various succession controversies of the modern era, this book brings forth never before seen evidence, often sourced from primary documents, that lend newfound credibility to the often spurious claims of Templar continuation."

This book is a compilation of the essays I have produced over the last year. Several of them are available online - no one ought to be deprived of knowledge for lack of money. We are the Poor Knights of Christ. If anyone needs a link to a free .pdf link, let me know.
This book is not for my personal profit, but was produced in the service of the Order. All royalties from purchases go to the Order, not to me. The price includes full color images where applicable. nnDnn.
With that said, this is *new* research that will shake the Templar world.

Grand Master Prof. General Ronald Mangum
A lovely Dedication in the book sent to me from Regent Prof. Nicolas Haimovici Hastier PhD OSMTJ KTJ. (Rest in Peace). Years ago Regent Hastier picked me to be Grand Secretary General of the Order. We worked hard to bring the Order back in line and active again as it was over 20 years before. He listened to me intently and on my recommendation recognized 24 Grand Priories as well as made his dear friend Grand Prior of Austria Prof. Gen Ronald Mangum U.S. Army Retired to Grand Chancellor of the Order positioning him to be Elected the Grand Master of the Order. In our positions the 3 of us were able to get the Order running very smoothly with several bumps in the road but later working them out to what we have today, over 45 Grand Priories!!. I have been BLESSED to be working with and advising 2 such great men of our Order and now being a Grand Secretary General Emeritus as well as Grand Prior of Ireland Emeritus but still holding Grand Prior of Austria until a suitable replacement can be found. It has been an Honor and Privilege to serve this Grand Order with my dear brothers and sisters.
A very rare book by Michael Carroll
whom passed away not long after he completed this most detailed work on the KT's of Ireland.
We all know the Davinci Code and thought it is a fun story, this book is great for the European Traveler.
