True crime in the American heartland. Under the Banner of Heaven is
a riveting account of Mormon fundamentalism and renegade prophets,
from the bestselling author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air. Now
a major TV miniseries starring Andrew Garfield. Brothers Ron and
Dan Lafferty insist they were commanded to kill by God. Jon
Krakauer's investigation into the murder of a mother and her child
is a meticulously researched, bone-chilling narrative of polygamy,
savage violence and unyielding faith. An incisive look inside
isolated Mormon Fundamentalist communities in America, this
gripping work of non-fiction illuminates an otherwise confounding
realm of human behaviour. 'A provocative look at the twisted roots
of American fundamentalism.' - Will Self, Evening Standard 'Books
of the Year' 'Excellent . . . a lucid, judicious, even sympathetic
account not just of Mormon Fundamentalism but of the seductive
power of fanaticism in general.' - Daily Telegraph 'Remarkable . .
. for anyone interested in the wilder frontiers of spiritual
conviction, this book is a must.' - Independent
General
