______________________________ A journalist's twenty-year obsession
with the Manson murders leads to shocking new conspiracy theories
about the FBI's involvement in this fascinating re-evaluation of
one of the most infamous cases in American history. In 1999, when
Tom O'Neill was assigned a magazine piece about the thirtieth
anniversary of the Manson murders, he worried there was nothing new
to say. Weren't the facts indisputable? Charles Manson had ordered
his teenage followers to commit seven brutal murders, and in his
thrall, they'd gladly complied. But when O'Neill began reporting
the story, he kept finding holes in the prosecutor Vincent
Bugliosi's narrative, long enshrined in the bestselling Helter
Skelter. Before long, O'Neill had questions about everything from
the motive to the manhunt. Though he'd never considered himself a
conspiracy theorist, the Manson murders swallowed the next two
decades of his career. He was obsessed. Searching but never
speculative, CHAOS follows O'Neill's twenty-year effort to rebut
the 'official' story behind Manson. Who were his real friends in
Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties? Why didn't
law enforcement act on their many chances to stop him? And how did
he turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers?
O'Neill's hunt for answers leads him from reclusive celebrities to
seasoned spies, from the Summer of Love to the shadowy sites of the
CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with cover-ups and
coincidences. Featuring hundreds of new interviews and dozens of
never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI and the CIA,
CHAOS mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles
Deputy District Attorney Stephen Kay, strong enough to overturn the
verdicts on the Manson murders. In those two dark nights in Los
Angeles, O'Neill finds the story of California in the sixties: when
charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as
brainwashing, and utopia-or dystopia-was just an acid trip away.
______________________________ 'Riveting ... Sensational
revelations ... True crime fans will be enthralled.' PUBLISHERS
WEEKLY '[Full of] scandalous findings ... to me it seems only too
plausible. O'Neill's intricately sinister 'secret history' often
sounds incredible; that doesn't mean that it's not all true.'
