Paris: Librairie Maç, V. Gloton, 1930. 18.5 cm. 430,[2] pp. In French. Publisher's printed wrappers. Wrappers lightly worn at edges and lightly scuffed, leaves toned. Very good. Anti-Fascist work by the Italian journalist and anarcho-syndicalist Maria Rygier (1885-1953), examining the history of Freemasonry in Italy and the rise of Fascism in the context of anti-Masonic persecution. In 1914, committed to Italian interventionism in World War I, Rygier briefly worked as an editor at Mussolini's IL POPOLO D'ITALIA newspaper but was jailed the same year for syndicalist activism. By 1926, Rygier was openly opposing Mussolini and Fascism and fled to France, where she remained until the end of World War II. The preface of the book is written by noted French pacifist Lucien Le Foyer (1872-1952), who at the time of its publication was serving as the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of France.
