This is the only comprehensive exposé of one of the world's most secretive and feared organizations: Yale University's nearly 200-year-old secret society, Skull and Bones. Through unprecedented access to society documents and interviews with dozens of members, Alexandra Robbins reveals why this old-boy product of another time still thrives today.
Exclusive Access to Hidden Documents
Robbins penetrates the walls of secrecy that have protected Skull and Bones for nearly two centuries. Drawing from internal society documents and candid interviews with members, this investigation traces the organization's influence on American power structures, from the Ivy League corridors to the highest levels of government and business.

The book explores the rituals, membership selection process, and the lasting bonds that connect Bonesmen across generations, revealing the hidden paths that link Yale's campus to positions of national power.
