The Brotherhood of the Shadows -

Hidden powers of opposition, and how they work

Heinz Pfeifer (b. 1910) explored for many decades the question: What forces are at work behind the scene of world events? In this he drew inspiration and guidance from numerous indications given by Rudolf Steiner in lectures held particularly during the period of the First World War.

The fruits of Pfeifer’s wide-ranging and penetrating research were published in a book «Die Brüder des Schattens» in three editions in the 1980’s. In view of the ongoing crises in the new millennium and the unique value of Pfeifer’s work in providing a key to their background, Swiss publisher W. Lochmann took on the task of revising, expanding and updating the text for a new, posthumous edition (Pfeifer died in 1990).

It is hoped that this English edition will enable a wider public to see through the veils of deception that hide the powerful working of the forces of opposition in our time.
