Basically Grant gives the reader an overview of early 20th century occultism. In doing so he mostly focuses in the development and influence of the Golden Dawn and the O.T.O, as well as a few key figures; namely, Aleister Crowley, Austin Osman Spare, Dion Fortune, and Jack Parsons. Grant knew three of these personally, thus he definitely had his finger on the pulse of the age. The book gives a lively snapshot of early to mid 20th century thought in regards to magick; a time pre-Chaos Magick and when Neo-Paganism was just becoming a contender.
Some Crowley quotes and witticisms were laugh-out-loud funny. The only problem was that some of it was a bit dated and occasionally Grant became a tad repetitive. Though many topics discussed are rather complex and perhaps needed further clarification. The center of the book contains over a dozen glossy and full color photos and illustrations. Nice touch. ( )
