"Previous works about the mysterious Madame Blavatsky are full of conflicting information, since she left behind a trail of concocted legends. The Masters Revealed, by K. Paul Johnson, strips away most of the fantasy and provides a wealth of new material.
Edgar Cayce emerges as a crucial link between late 19th-century esoteric movements and the New Age movement, with his extensive psychic readings addressing diverse topics such as medicine, theology, and psychology.
