Book Title:The Road to Jonestown
The Road to Jonestown by Jeff Guinn Synopsis coming soon……. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 2018 Edgar Award Finalist—Best Fact Crime”A thoroughly readable, thoroughly chilling account of a brilliant con man and his all-too vulnerable prey” (The Boston Globe)—the definitive story of preacher Jim Jones, who was responsible for the Jonestown Massacre, the largest murder-suicide in American history, by the New York Times bestselling author of Manson.In the 1950s, a young Indianapolis minister named Jim Jones preached a curious blend of the gospel and Marxism. His congregation was racially mixed, and he was a leader in the early civil rights movement. Eventually, Jones moved his church, Peoples Temple, to northern California, where he got involved in electoral politics and became a prominent Bay Area leader. But underneath the surface lurked a terrible darkness. In this riveting narrative, Jeff Guinn examines Joness life, from his early days as an idealistic minister to a secret life of extramarital affairs, drug use, and fraudulent faith healing, before the fateful decision to move almost a thousand of his followers to a settlement in the jungles of Guyana in South America. Guinn provides stunning new details of the events leading to the fatal day in November, 1978 when more than nine hundred people died—including almost three hundred infants and children—after being ordered to swallow a cyanide-laced drink. Guinn examined thousands of pages of FBI files on the case, including material released during the course of his research. He traveled to Joness Indiana hometown, where he spoke to people never previously interviewed, and uncovered fresh information from Jonestown survivors. He even visited the Jonestown site with the same pilot who flew there the day that Congressman Leo Ryan was murdered on Joness orders. The Road to Jonestown is “the most complete picture to date of this tragic saga, and of the man who engineered it…The result is a disturbing portrait of evil—and a compassionate memorial to those taken in by Joness malign charisma” (San Francisco Chronicle). Notes The story of preacher Jim Joness growing hold over a committed cult resulting in the largest murder-suicide in American history following the cults move to the jungles of Guyana is told in intricate depth here by the bestselling author of Manson, featuring new information from Jonestown Massacre survivors. Author Biography Jeff Guinn is the bestselling author of numerous books, including Go Down Together, The Last Gunfight, Manson, The Road to Jonestown, War on the Border, and Waco. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas, and is a member of the Texas Literary Hall of Fame. Review “I have to say that it is weird to find out the background of things that I grew up hearing about around the dinner table. The level of research and detail in The Road to Jonestown is the best ever, and really lets readers understand not only what happened, but how and why. This book tells the Jim Jones story better than anything I have read to date.” — Jim Jones, Jr.”Jeff Guinn offers what might be the most complete picture to date of this tragic saga, and of the man who engineered it. . . . The result is a disturbing portrait of evil — and a compassionate memorial to those taken in by Jones malign charisma.” — Kevin Canfield * The San Francisco Chronicle *”A thoroughly readable, thoroughly chilling account of a brilliant con man and his all-too vulnerable prey. . . . Generates a bizarre — dare I say Manson-like? — magnetic force that pulls the reader through its many pages. Noir thriller morphs into horror story.” — Dan Cryer * The Boston Globe *”Magisterial. . . . Guinns exhaustive research, shrewd analysis, and engaging prose illuminate a monstrous yet tragic figure–and the motives of those who lost their souls to him.” * Publishers Weekly *”A vivid, fascinating revisitation of a time and series of episodes fast receding into history even as their forgotten survivors still walk among us.” * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *”A powerful account of Joness life. . . . Guinns blow-by-blow account of Jonestowns final days in the books last chapters is riveting.” * BookPage * Review Quote “Magisterial. . . . Guinns exhaustive research, shrewd analysis, and engaging prose illuminate a monstrous yet tragic figure–and the motives of those who lost their souls to him.” Details ISBN1476763836 Author Jeff Guinn Publisher Simon & Schuster Year 2018 ISBN-10 1476763836 ISBN-13 9781476763835 Format Paperback Publication Date 2018-06-14 Pages 544 Media Book Imprint Simon & Schuster Subtitle Jim Jones and Peoples Temple Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY 289.9 Short Title The Road to Jonestown Language English UK Release Date 2018-06-14 NZ Release Date 2018-06-14 US Release Date 2018-06-14 Illustrations 1x16pg b&w insert Audience General AU Release Date 2018-08-31 We’ve got this At The Nile, if you’re looking for it, we’ve got it.
