What we know about the Brotherhood appears to be just crumbs,
since for a long time very little info has been given out.  We
may never get a total picture considering the fact that the
Brotherhood has always kept their silence and never sought any
publicity.  In the meanwhile all we can is to speculate.  My .02.

Any ideas who is going to write the book?

I think you should not keep silent.  It does not really matter
whether anyone agrees with with your views or not.  At least it
would make it easy for all of us better understand what your
conclusions are, especially considering the voluminous responses
in book reviews etc., which is too much for many of us who are
not scholars or intellectual giants!!!
