"The myth of Charles Manson is not likely to survive the impact of
his own words," Nuel Emmons writes in the introduction to Manson In
His Own Words, the shocking true confessions that lay bare the life
and mind of the cult leader and notorious criminal. His story
provides an enormous amount of new information about his life and
how it led to the Tate-LaBianca murders, and reminds us of the
complexity of the human condition. Born in the middle of the Great
Depression to an unmarried fifteen-year-old, Manson lived through a
succession of changing homes and substitute parents, until his
mother finally asked the state authorities to assume his care when
he was twelve. Regimented and often brutalized in juvenile homes,
Manson became immersed in a life of petty theft, pimping, jail
terms, and court appearances that culminated in seven years of
prison. Released in 1967, he suddenly found himself in the world of
hippies and flower children, a world that not only accepted him,
but even glorified his anti-establishment values. It was a
combination that led, for reasons only Charles Manson can fully
explain, to tragedy. Manson's story, distilled from seven years of
interviews and examinations of his correspondence, provides
sobering insight into the making of a criminal mind, and a
fascinating picture of the last years of the sixties. No one who
wants to understand that time, and the man who helped to bring it
to a horrifying conclusion, can miss reading this book.
