Description
The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple
Jeff Guinn's gripping narrative explores the life of Jim Jones, a charismatic preacher who led his followers to a tragic fate. From his early days as an idealistic minister to his descent into a life of extramarital affairs, drug use, and fraudulent faith healing, Guinn examines the events leading to the Jonestown Massacre.
Guinn's research, which included thousands of pages of FBI files and interviews with people never previously spoken to, sheds new light on the events of November 1978, when over 900 people died in a mass murder-suicide. This is a chilling and thoroughly readable account of a brilliant con man and his vulnerable prey.
