The author explores the origins, evolutions, and meanings of a wide array of national symbols of the United States, such as the eye and pyramid found on US currency, the Liberty Bell, and the Statue of Liberty. Along the way he endeavors to debunk the erroneous theories of satanic or other nefarious influence proposed by those he calls "fundamentalist-conspiratorialists," such as those who claim the Great Seal as an essentially Masonic symbol.
