It follows Jim Jones through his childhood into adulthood. To me it gave me a sense of why Jim Jones turned out the way he did.
I highly recommend it.

One true crime book that is not cult related but I also really enjoy is Invisible Darkness by Stephen Williams - interesting true crime book about serial killer couple Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Might be hard to find but would recommend.



While the mafia isn't a "cult", the commitment to the organization (like outlaw bike clubs), certainly has cult-like qualities and the violence is pretty profound.






Then some rather good fiction is out there too!



Just read the description! Twisted story
