The Secret History of America: Classic Writings on Our Nation's Unknown Past and Inner Purpose

Written by Manly P. Hall and Mitch Horowitz

Narrated by Mitch Horowitz

A compilation of rare works on the untold history and destiny of America by acclaimed occult writer Manly P. Hall.

Writer and scholar Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) is one of the most significant names in the study of the esoteric, symbolic, and occult. His legendary book The Secret Teachings of All Ages has been an underground classic since its publication in 1928. The Secret History of America expands on that legacy, offering a collection of Hall’s works—from books and journals to transcriptions of his lectures—all relating to the hidden past and unfolding future of our nation.

Hall believed that America was gifted with a unique purpose to explore and share principles of personal freedom, self-governance, and independent thought. PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz has curated a powerful collection of Hall’s most influential and insightful works that capture and explore these ideas. Never before collected in one audiobook, the material in The Secret History of America explores the rich destiny, unseen history, and hidden meaning of America.

Manly P. Hall

Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 - August 29, 1990) was a Canadian-born author and mystic. He is best known for his 1928 work The Secret Teachings of All Ages. An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic, and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy. He is also the founder of the Philosophical Research Society, Inc., a non-profit organization, dedicated to the dissemination of useful knowledge in the fields of philosophy, comparative religion, and psychology. Born in 1901 in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, Hall moved to Los Angeles, California in 1919 and was almost immediately drawn to the arcane world of mysticism, esoteric philosophies, and their underlying principles. In his long career, spanning more than seventy years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles. In addition to his Secret Teachings of All Ages, his other major works include The Lost Keys of Freemasonry and Meditation Symbols in Eastern & Western Mysticism-Mysteries of the Mandala. Hall died in 1990 aged 89.

Intense quality to make sense of the Chaos with no order. I give it ten thousand stars up.

Really terrific!

Some of the history pertaining to the Native Americans is a little questionable but still inspiring, albeit filled with seemingly anachronistic terms in today’s parlance.

His breakdown of the broader picture of America’s destiny and his brief overflow of platonic and neoplatonic thought were really thought provoking. Mr. Hall’s words are magic, and Mr. Horrowitz’s reading spellbinding.
