Über diesen Titel
Using riveting first-person accounts, award-winning author Candace Fleming reveals the makings of a monster: from Jones’s humble origins as a child of the Depression… to his founding of a group whose idealistic promises of equality and justice attracted thousands of followers… to his relocation of Temple headquarters from California to an unsettled territory in Guyana, South America, which he dubbed "Jonestown”… to his transformation of Peoples Temple into a nefarious experiment in mind-control.
And Fleming heart-stoppingly depicts Jones’s final act, persuading his followers to swallow fatal doses of cyanide—to “drink the kool-aid,” as it became known—as a test of their ultimate devotion.
Here is a sweeping story that traces, step by step, the ways in which one man slowly indoctrinated, then murdered, 900 innocent, well- meaning people. And how a few members, Jones' own son included, stood up to him... but not before it was too late.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with sources and a bibliography.

★ "It’s a testament to Fleming’s storytelling prowess that the book becomes more and more compelling despite our knowledge of the outcome." —The Horn Book, starred review
★ "Fleming spares few of the horrific details, while filling her account with mesmerizing yet respectful insights. Photographs are included (although not of the bodies)....lessons about the dangers of groupthink, mind control and misinformation remain all too relevant." —BookPage, starred review
★ "Candace Fleming documents with the tension of a thriller the history of an infamous 20th century cult while maintaining a sense of humanity that conveys immense empathy for its victims....a gripping and disturbing nonfiction narrative." —Shelf Awareness, starred review
