Title: This book was not well researched!!!!!
Product review: I was throughly disappointed with Dr. Axelrod's book on Fraternal orders. I am an educated man, and a member of over 25 friendly socities. Axelrod definately read Schmidt's 1980 book Fraternal Orginizations. This is illustrated via his reporting that "this groups has not been heard of since 1980." What he is actually saying is "that the group has moved headquarters since 1980(when Schmidt reported it)and I do not want to take time and research the new location." He declares several groups to be long since dead, however they are very much alive. I wish Dr. Axelrod would have looked for sources better, he could have had a better book. This information takes a little bit of hard work to find, however it is easily accessable. after reading various texts I am able to see how Axelrod merely copies their work. I would suggest buying this book, it is fairly interesting, however it is full of inaccurate info.
