Based on new interviews with previously undiscovered
relatives and filled with revelations and unpublished
photographs, this is the most authoritative account of the
life of Charles Manson.
After more than forty years, Charles Manson continues to
mystify and fascinate us. One of the most notorious
criminals in American history, Manson and members of his
mostly female commune killed nine people, including
pregnant actress Sharon Tate. Now, drawing on new
information, bestselling author Jeff Guinn tells the
definitive story of how this ordinary delinquent became a
murderer.
Manson helps us understand what obsessed him and, most
terrifying of all, how he managed to persuade others to
kill. Guinn interviewed Manson’s sister and cousin,
neither of whom has ever previously cooperated with an
author. Childhood friends, cellmates, and even some
members of the Manson Family have provided new information
about Manson’s life. Guinn has made discoveries about the
night of the Tate murders, answering unresolved questions,
such as why one person on the property was spared. There
are even photographs of Manson’s childhood and youth that
have never previously been seen outside private family
albums.
