The Ivy League is full of societies and clubs, some public and some very private, but none is as secret as Yale's Skull and Bones, a tiny, mysterious society that has spawned three presidents, including George W. Bush and his father. Skull and Bones' cloak-and-dagger secrecy has prompted people worldwide to attribute to it some of the most staggering conspiracies in modern history - as well as events including the drop of the atom bomb, the rise of Hitler and the Bay of Pigs invasion. From their nearly windowless crypt in the middle of the campus the Bonesmen, it is said, plot world domination! Journalist Alexandra Robbins slips through the veil of secrecy to investigate, through society documents and interviews with dozens of members, the truth about Skull and Bones' influence and operations. She also explains why the old-boy, 19th century throwback, a product of another time, still thrives in 21st century America.

I bought it because I found out that a bonesman called the journalist and threatened her, making her investigative journalism sound like it would result in "real meat." It was a complete let-down.
Basically, you have two theories about groups like Skull and Bones. In one theory, intelligent, bred people converge, and so it's only natural you see them in the same groups -- they have tons in common. And so the group is just college hijinx, smelly beer soaked carpets, etc. Odd as it may be, it's not threatening. This is basically the view espoused by the author.
The other theory, however, is that these groups are satanic cults, whether knowingly or unknowingly on an individual basis, always knowingly at the highest levels, where efforts are made to usurp authority and control over global events, which effect us all in untold ways. This is the "conspiracy theory." The journalist links the group to the German brotherhood, but with none of the nefariousness of other authors (Rudolf Steiner, Anthony Sutton), making it seem like the conspiracy theory was an overreach. The same thing with Scroll and Key and Wolfshead.
If someone said to me that Alexandra Robbins is part of a disinformation campaign for the Skull and Bones, in which she is to appear to expose all that's bad about Skull and Bones -- without saying anything bad, I would be inclined to agree.
