What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Here is the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime. 50 pages of b/w photographs. <P>Both <I>Helter Skelter</I> and Vincent Bugliosi's subsequent <I>Till Death Us Do Part</I> won Edgar Allan Poe Awards for best true-crime book of the year. Bugliosi is also the author of <I>Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O. J. Simpson Got Away with Murder</I> (Norton, 1996) and other books. Curt Gentry, an Edgar winner, is the author of <I>J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets</I> (available in Norton paperback) and <I>Frame-Up: The Incredible Case of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings.</I> 1077715 book 1976 Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders total:4729|5:1364|4:1772|3:1258|2:282|1:53| 4729 18299 6101 524 5 3 false false Sun Mar 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 18 20:14:06 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 07:37:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 5 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 08:21:37 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 14:08:34 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 3 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 30 22:08:34 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 30 22:42:20 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Jun 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 28 14:53:55 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 12:55:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 1975 Thu Apr 03 18:56:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 01:42:29 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 20:42:01 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 21:26:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Mon Dec 15 18:28:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 18:28:25 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 25 21:18:42 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 22:03:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1989 Sun Aug 23 11:17:02 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 11:26:06 -0700 2009 2 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Aug 23 06:42:02 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 07:01:34 -0700 2009 Helter Skelter, but I can say that I was utterly consumed by it.
