The Footprints of the Jesuits by Richard W. Thompson is a revealing history of the order of Jesuits from its beginnings to the times of the author. In this book, Thomson unearths the true purpose and methods of the Jesuit society, that is, to obtain power over ordinary people and influential political leaders by using their Christian beliefs. According to Thompson, in the Jesuit organization, the central figure is the General, to whom the wills of all the monks are subordinated. The General's orders are free of sin, according to Jesuit Constitution, even if they are cruel or criminal by nature. Further, the author goes into how the Jesuit organization sprawled worldwide and how it exerted influence on the world's leaders.
