At the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a multi-layered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith. Along the way he uncovers a shadowy offshoot of America’s fastest growing religion, and raises provocative questions about the nature of religious belief.]]> 1235 3.87 138696 12943 2003 5 0 false Tue Aug 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 07:39:03 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 01:54:38 -0700 2008 more...]]>
