We called him a devil and quarantined him behind such labels as
'the most dangerous man alive.' But Charles Manson remains a
shocking reminder of our own humanity gone awry. This astonishing
book lays bare the life and the mind of a man whose acts left us
horrified. His story provides an enormous amount of 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 Depression to an unmarried fifteen-year-old, Manson
lived through a bewildering 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.
